Soldiers entered the camp after the fighting, AFP reported. </p> <p>Shiite Muslim rebels, led by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, are fighting to restore a Shiite administration in the region, AFP said. The government has accused them of seeking to impose Islamic law in the country that lies on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. </p> <p>The government blamed rebels for bombing a mosque in the disputed region on May 2, killing 18 people, most of them soldiers, the news agency reported. The rebels denied the allegation. Clashes two days ago at Munbah killed 10 people, according to the report.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/47054-u-s-sponsored-instability-in-yemen">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46969-half-the-holocaust-to-die-in-somalia-because-of-u-s-policies 2008-10-29T09:39:24Z rattansifan <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8o5UR35gpno&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8o5UR35gpno&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46969-half-the-holocaust-to-die-in-somalia-because-of-u-s-policies"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55538" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Afshin Rattansi in Tehran talks to Bettina Luescher of the World Food Program about the threat of famine to 3 million Somalis.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46969-half-the-holocaust-to-die-in-somalia-because-of-u-s-policies">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/40224-au-peacekeepers-under-fire-in-somalia-27-may-08 2008-10-20T09:30:27Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4IAnIo1bZmI&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4IAnIo1bZmI&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/40224-au-peacekeepers-under-fire-in-somalia-27-may-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/45387" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>African Union peacekeepers have come under renewed attack in Mogadishu, the Somali capital.</p> <p>Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow reports on the continuing conflict.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/40224-au-peacekeepers-under-fire-in-somalia-27-may-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/37824-currency-crisis-in-a-famished-somalia-05-may-08 2008-10-22T21:30:53Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EnQ-Imj7dBU&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EnQ-Imj7dBU&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/37824-currency-crisis-in-a-famished-somalia-05-may-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/42622" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Protests against soaring food prices in Somalia have taken a deadly turn.</p> <p>At least five demonstrators are reported to have been killed when security forces opened fire on crowds in the capital Mogadishu.</p> <p>Tens of thousands have been on the streets, with many angered by traders who won't accept their cash, amid fears of a flood of counterfeit notes.</p> <p>All this as the United Nations warns that Somalia is facing famine.</p> <p>Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow reports from Mogadishu.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/37824-currency-crisis-in-a-famished-somalia-05-may-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/37620-ghost-town-mogadishu-03-may-08 2008-10-20T15:31:12Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Em2mTCwtROE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Em2mTCwtROE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/37620-ghost-town-mogadishu-03-may-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/42403" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Islamic fighters battling the Somali government have promised revenge attacks after a US airstrike killed one of their top commanders.
