Update: Somalia Situation

Another Islamist-Government War in the Making

Apparently, Somali Islamists have ruled out peace talks with the government only hours after the transitional government agreed to them. The point of dispute: Ethiopian troops, said to be inside Somalia. The government denies their presence, though witnesses claim otherwise. Ethiopians and Islamists based in Somalia have fought in the past. Check out Aljazeera English (in now way an endorsment of Aljazeera's anti-West rhetoric), or the Houston Chronicle.
