Riots as Somali minister killed

Riots have broken out in the Somali town of Baidoa after a minister
in the transitional government was shot dead.

Minister Abdallah Isaaq Deerow was killed outside a mosque in Baidoa,
where the government is based.

On Thursday, at least 19 members of the transitional government -
which controls only a small area - resigned.

In another development, a second cargo plane has landed in Mogadishu,
fuelling allegations that the Islamic forces who control the city are
receiving arms.

2. Welcome to DU geothermal10!

:hi:

In the case of Somalia, the Islamists are rushing in to fill a vacuum.
Somalia has been without a functioning government for over 15 years
and another Taliban-style movement came in promising to restore order.

4. Enjoy your stay at DU.

Every one of your 3 posts has been bigoted and hateful statements about Islam.
