…he was shortly thereafter dealing with a crisis in Somalia. Thank God that won’t happen again. :uhh: > Islamist militants took almost full control of Mogadishu on Thursday, less than 24 hours after Ethiopian troops withdrew from Somalia’s capital, a witness reported. > **['Terror group' joins Somali capital takeover - CNN.com](https://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/01/15/somalia.ethiopia.withdrawal/index.html?eref=rss_world)** > > Islamist militants took almost full control of Mogadishu on Thursday, less than 24 hours after Ethiopian troops withdrew from Somalia's capital, a witness reported.
