Key battle for Mogadishu resumes

Fighting between Somali warlords and Islamist militias for control of the capital, Mogadishu, has resumed for a sixth day after a brief lull.
...
The US has not confirmed or denied backing the warlords but says it would "work with responsible individuals... in fighting terror".

A report by a UN committee on Wednesday warned that an unnamed country is flouting the arms embargo on Somalia.
...
Last week, Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf accused the US of funding the coalition of warlords.
