MOGADISHU: Fighting between Somalia’s rebel Hizbul Islam group and a pro-government militia resumed on Monday, a day after clashes in the strategic central Somali town of Baladwayne killed at least 13 people, a rights group and witnesses said.
Hizbul Islam and another rival insurgent group, al Shabaab, want to impose a strict version of sharia (Islamic law) across the lawless Horn of Africa nation. Somalia has lacked a functional central government since1991.
Elman peace and human rights group said at least 13 people were killed and 18 others wounded in Sunday’s fighting between Hizbul Islam and clan militias.
“The death toll is higher. Both groups carried their casualties. We do not know how many fighters died,” Ali YasinGedi, Elman’s vice chairman, told foreign news agency. Residents said fighting resumed in Baladwayne on Monday.

Offers Good And Bad Music,Main Aurr Mrs Khanna
Mumbai: After ‘Wanted’, composer duo Sajid Wajid returns to the music of another, starring Salman Khan, ‘Main Aurr Mrs Khanna. The album can be considered a sure shot hit, but is decent in parts.The soundtrack features five originals and two remixes.
“Don` t say Alvida “, a romantic, sung by Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal and Suzanne D’Mello, is not as attractive. The musical backing and feel of the song is quite old and don `t reflect the music of today. In general, a boring subject.
The song has two versions – one is fast paced with more hits and another is a sad version, but none of them click with the listeners.
Up next is “Happening”, a serial number on the lines of “Kajra Re” and “Billo Rani”. The song is already making waves on television is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, Wajid and supported by Raja Mushtaq. It is foot-tapping and fun track on the song that makes the listener. Sundhi `s voice not only complements the catchy tune but the song asks.
This issue also has a remix version, which is faster and has more hits. But the original is better.
Then there’s Mrs. Khanna “- begins with a completely Western, including English lyrics. Gradually, the song changes with the inclusion of Hindi lyrics. Fast and energetic, has a bunch of singing behind the microphone, including Bappi Lahiri , Shaan, Sunidhi, Neuman Pinto, Suzanne. It doesn `t ignite much interest.
Next in line is a number in the voice of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, doing what he does best. ‘Rabba’ is a soft, poignant number with rustic influences. A nice relaxing number.
Finally, there is “Tum ne Socha,” sung by Wajid again along with Shreya. A contemporary song and nice to hear, he remembers listening to “Every Breath you Take” from 1983 album “Synchronicity” by the band The Police. Aside from the similarity, the song is very hummable.
Overall, the album has a mixture of good compositions and a half. A few songs use a lot as a drop in a few planes.
