Ethiopians killed in an overnight attack within SomaliaMOGADISHU, Somalia - At least six Ethiopians were killed on Monday morning in southern Somalia, multiple sources have confirmed, which could trigger another round of tensions in the Horn of Africa, a region that has been battling with instability for decades. The six Ethiopians and a local were killed in an overnight attack in the southern Somalia town of Beled Hawo, local officials said. Six other Ethiopians were injured in the attack, Arog said. Authorities pointed the finger at al-Shabaab militants, who have been wrestling to take over the fragile UN-backed federal government of Somalia. Also, the MoU has been criticized by several international partners, who accuse Ethiopians of 'blatant disregard of international law '.
