Fighting Erupts In Somalia Between Union Of Islamic Courts And Pro-Government, Ethiopian Troops (RTTNews) - Somalia's Union of Islamic Courts' militia was involved in fighting Ethiopian troops and pro-government forces in Dinsor in southern Somalia, according to reports. The leader of the Union of Islamic Courts Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed told his supporters in Mogadishu that fighting had started in Dinsor, south of Somalia. He was speaking to supporters protesting in the capital against the U.N. decision to send peacekeeping forces to Somalia. Leaders of Islamic Courts urged the decision be reversed and warned of attacks on the force. Several hundreds of troops of the transitional government, backed by Ethiopian soldiers, were reported to be grouping near Dinsor after the Islamic Courts had seized the town on Saturday without encountering any resistance. Violence set in two days after the U.N. approved plans to send peacekeepers to Somalia. However, Ethiopia has been consistently denying reports that its troops are in Somalia to protect the powerless interim government but has acknowledged the presence of hundreds of military advisers to train security forces. Sources indicated that Ethiopian troops had shelled the town of Bandiradley, with witnesses near Bandiradley confirming the presence of several hundreds of Ethiopian troops and tanks take up positions near the town. Militiamen from the northeastern semi-autonomous region of Puntland were also spotted in the grouping. Sources for the Puntland forces said they were forced into the fighting with Islamic Courts militiamen after rockets and mortar shells were fired at them. Three people have been killed in clashes for the first time on Wednesday, hours after the U.N. Security Council authorized an 8,000-strong peacekeeping force into Somalia and eased a 14-year-old arms embargo.
