AT least 18 people were killed in a clash between Ethiopian government troops and rebel Oromo Liberation Front militiamen at the Kenyan frontier town of Moyale on Saturday, Kenyan newspapers reported on Monday. Several people were also injured in the fighting which, other reports said, killed as many as 40 people on both sides of the Kenyan-Ethiopian border. Four of the injured were Kenyans — two home guards and two civilians — who were in a Kenyan manyatta [nomadic village] when Ethiopian troops attacked it, Moyale district commissioner Stephen Kipkabut confirmed.
