Somali women go with their daily work on a street 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.

Veiled women walk past a mosque under construction in the district of "Little Mogadishu", home to many Somali refugees in Addis Ababa, January 12, 2007. Food aid began reaching 6,000 Somalis on Friday trying to flee fighting in their homeland but blocked from entering Kenya, the United Nations said.
