Foreign troops are reportedly fighting each other over control of Somali cities and major towns. The garrisons under the command of the African Union are fighting to replace Ethiopian forces fighting the Al Shabaab rebels in the two Somali cities of Baidoa and Beledweyne.

We have been told that African Union wants its soldiers to be the only ones with full control of all the Somali cities. Although Ethiopian army is part of African troops, its not part of the African Union armies in Somalia.

The foreign troops in Somalia on a peace keeping mission under the command of African Union are from Djiboutian, Burundi, Kenya and Uganda.

A source in African Union says that Ethiopian troops are not needed anymore in Baidoa and Beledweyne. The Ethiopian troops are also in Somalia to support the Somali transitional government in its fight against the al-Qaeda-linked Islamist militants, called the Al Shabaab.

The commanders of the Ethiopian troops say that they will leave Somalia only when stability is established. But the Ethiopian army accepts to allow the African Union troops to take control of Baidoa and Beledweyne.
