Somalia: Somalis lament fresh violence on Peace Day

Fresh fighting in Somalia, the only country without a central government, cast a shadow over an anti-war rally by Somali politicians on the 21st of September for International Peace Day. Hundreds of Somalis have fled to Kenya this month to escape violence in the volatile south of the country stirred by warring militias battling for control of the port of Kismayo. "It is a pity to see there are some people who don't believe that the state of fighting is over," Joseph Nyaga, Kenya's assistant minister of East African and Regional Cooperation, told the rally.
