Somalia fighting continues in capital, spreads to port city

Somalia transitional government troops have clashed with clan members in the southern port of Kismayu, where government soldiers were reportedly pushed to the edge of the town. Residents count up to 15 killed by the fighting. In Mogadishu, at least 37 more people were killed and locals say casualties are steadily increasing as Ethiopian forces are attacking civilians indiscriminately. This week's fighting alone has displaced at least tens of thousands of people. Mogadishu hospitals are full and short on bandages, but victims keep pouring in.
