ATTENTION EDITORS - VISUALS COVERAGE OF SCENES OF DEATH OR INJURY A Transitional Federal Government soldier walks past the body of a Islamic Courts Militia in Bur Haqaba, 60km (37 miles) south of Baidoa in Somalia December 28, 2006. Triumphant Somali government forces and their Ethiopian allies marched into Mogadishu on Thursday after Islamist rivals abandoned the war-scarred city they held for six months. The flight of the Islamists was a dramatic turn-around in the volatile Horn of Africa nation after they took Mogadishu in June and spread across the south imposing sharia rule.

RFFILE - CORRECTING DATE Somalia government forces stand guard outside the regional court of Benedir in the capital Mogadishu January 4, 2007. Somali gunmen attacked an oil tanker truck near Mogadishu on Thursday, wounding three people and raising fears of a return to the clan-based violence that had largely stopped during six months of Islamic rule.
