BBC NEWS | Africa | Somalis 'at war' with Ethiopia:
"The leader of the Union of Islamic Courts, which controls the capital and much of southern Somalia, says they are in a state of war with Ethiopia.
'All Somalis should take part in this struggle against Ethiopia,' Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys said from Mogadishu.
Fresh heavy fighting is reported near the weak Somali government's Baidoa base, amid fears conflict could plunge the entire Horn of Africa into crisis.
Local residents say Ethiopian troops are clashing with Islamist militias.
Ethiopia denies its forces are battling the advancing Islamist militias.
The two countries have a long history of troubled relations, and Islamists have long called for a holy war against Ethiopian troops in Baidoa.
Both the Islamist and interim government agreed to a ceasefire and to unconditional talks on Wednesday after meetings with a visiting European Union envoy."
Muslims killing non muslims. Must be Bush's fault, somehow!
