FIFTEEN people were killed and dozens wounded overnight when two rival Somali factions clashed in the Bulohubey district of south Mogadishu, militia leaders and witnesses said on Thursday. The fighting pitted the militia of powerful Mogadishu warlord Mohamed Qanyare Afrah and those of his rival, little-known Hashi Dhabarey. Dhabarey said that Afrah’s fighters had attacked his militiamen late on Wednesday killing 11 of them near his home. “I lost 11 of my people and others are wounded,” said Dhabarey, who added that Afrah’s militiamen had also seized two of his armed vehicles. Two of Afrah’s militiamen and two civilians also died in the fighting, which lasted about 90 minutes. Thirty-one people were killed when armed supporters of another two rival warlords fought in Mogadishu on February 25 and 26.
