In Somalia, Islamic fighters have abandoned the capital Mogadishu after heavy clashes with Ethiopian forces backing Somalia’s government. Over the past week more than 800 people have been wounded and thousands displaced. The U.N. is warning of an impending humanitarian crisis as fighting has forced the suspension of aid flights into Somalia. On Wednesday, the African Union called for the withdrawal of Ethiopian and all foreign forces.
