Somalia is once again devastated by a humanitarian catastrophe. While government forces, backed by Ethiopian army units, are raking in the capital's neighborhoods to flush out the insurgents who are still holed up there, four days began an exodus of biblical proportions. The Bakara market, the heart of Mogadishu once crowded where insurgents held their positions until yesterday morning, was deserted in the afternoon. Closed shops and market stalls destroyed by battle. Buildings with walls riddled with bullets. On the street just a few cart loaded with provisions pushed by hand from whole families leaving the capital. Corriere.it
