Somalis work 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.

An unidentified photographer takes pictures of weapons handed over to Somalia's Transitional Federal Government inside a former police training compound in Mogadishu, January 3, 2007. Kenyan soldiers and helicopters beefed up defences at the Somali border on Wednesday after Ethiopian warplanes and ground forces attacked fleeing Islamists on the other side of the frontier.
