Violence worsens in Uzbekistan
Now it is more likely that hundreds of people have been killed in fighting in the eastern city of Andijan, the majority of them civilians.

While in Mogandishu,Somalia thousands of militia fighters have begun withdrawing. Hopefully this is a sign of greater stability and peace in the near future. This country has been wracked by civil warfare and anarchy for over 14 years since the dictator Siad Barre was overthrown in 1991. Remember this is the country where the events in the book and movie "Black Hawk Down" happened. Clearly this is a wild place where there's not even a main warlord or dictator and the rule of the gun run the land.
