Rival Somali army groups clash at ex-UAE training facility
Rival forces in the Somali army shot at each other in the capital Mogadishu Monday, with one group trying to storm a former United Arab Emirates-run training center, soldiers and residents said. The clash was an indication of the difficulty in rebuilding unified security forces for a state where centralized authority collapsed in 1991 and an internationally backed government, elected last year, faces huge challenges. It was also another sign of the fallout from a crisis in the Gulf region that has spilled into the Horn of Africa.
