At least 20
people were killed, 120 wounded and over 90,000 forced to flee days
of rival militia battles in central Somalia, the UN said on Tuesday.
Fighting
broke out in the town of Galkayo on November 22 between gunmen loyal
to the Puntland and Galmudug districts, AFP said. Clashes with
reports of heavy gunfire as well as mortars and artillery continued
after a ceasefire agreement last week, but the situation has now
calmed down.
Galkayo has
seen frequent fighting between rival political or clan groups,
separate from the Islamist Shebab insurgents who are fighting the
internationally-backed central government in Mogadishu.
