Forgotten War : Somalia

(11 Nov 07 - RV) Somali and Ethiopian troops shut down Mogadishu's main market in a search for Islamist insurgents today after fighting that has killed at least 60 people and driven tens of thousands from the Somali capital.

Rights groups have criticised the Ethiopians for failing to distinguish between civilian and insurgent targets, and many Somalis resent the presence of an ancient Horn of Africa rival on their soil.

We spoke to apostolic administrator for Mogadishu, Bishop Giorgio Bertin, who told us more about the current situation.
