Fikirka Xorta ah - Ethiopian military forces have begun pulling out of Somalia after two years helping the transitional government fight insurgents.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi's spokesman said the withdrawal would take several days.

Hours earlier a roadside bomb killed two Ethiopian soldiers and a number of civilians died when troops opened fire.

Fikirka Xorta ah - LONDON — A British World War II hero who fought in North Africa despite severe wounds has died 68 years after he was "posthumously" awarded the nation’s highest combat honor by officials who thought he had been killed.Eric Wilson, 96, who had been the oldest living holder of the Victoria Cross, died Dec. 23 in Stowell, where he lived.
Mr. Wilson had been reported killed in North Africa in 1940, but was later found alive and trying to tunnel his way out of a prison camp.
His family was notified in August 1940 that he was killed while staying with his machine gun, though wounded and ill, in a futile effort to repel a larger Italian force. The Victoria Cross was awarded two months later. Mr. Wilson was commanding a company of the Somaliland Camel Corps when Italian forces attacked their position in what was then British Somaliland. Italy had declared war the day before.
Mr. Wilson later served in North Africa as adjutant of the Long Range Desert Group, a motorized force that harassed Italian positions; he later served in Burma as second-in-command of the 11th King’s African Rifles. Two years ago, Mr. Wilson said: "What is bravery? I don’t know. You just did what you had to do."
Fikirka Xorta ah -MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's president said Monday he is resigning as the head of his country's U.N.-backed government after four years of leading one of the most violent, impoverished countries in the world.Abdullahi Yusuf made the announcement in a speech Monday before parliament in Baidoa — one of the only towns controlled by the weak government. The speaker of parliament will stand in as acting president until elections are held, he said.
"When I took power I pledged three things," Yusuf said in his address, which was broadcast on radio across the country.
"If I was unable to fulfill my duty I will resign. Second, I said I will do everything in my power to make government work across the country. That did not happen either. Third, I asked the leaders to cooperate with me for the common good of the people. That did not happen," he said.
He said he would hand in his resignation letter later Monday.
Yusuf's administration failed to bring security to the war-ravaged nation and now only controls pockets of the capital, Mogadishu, and Baidoa. A powerful Islamic insurgency controls most of the country.
The most aggressive Islamic insurgency group, al-Shabab, have made dramatic territory gains in the past few months.
The U.S. State Department says al-Shabab's leaders have links with al-Qaida and are harboring men who conspired to blow up American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya 10 years ago, killing hundreds.
Fikirka Xorta ah - We all heard the news about the 13 year old Somali girl (Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow) raped and later accused of adultery and killed in Kismayu, Somalia, by Al-Shabaab and supporters.
