Witnesses: Ethiopian shelling kills 10 in Somalia

Mortar shells slammed into a residential area in Somalia's capital, killing at least 10 people _ including a mother and her child, witnesses and a hospital official said Tuesday.

The bloodshed Monday came as Ethiopian troops backing Somalia's shaky government battled Islamic insurgents who have been fighting an Iraq-style guerrilla war for more than a year. Thousands of civilians have been killed.

'There were 40 of us gathered under a wall to shield us from the mortars, but one landed near us,' Mogadishu resident Shamsa Kheyre told The Associated Press from her hospital bed.

Oh no here we go again... Ethiopians are PROUD AFRICANS. The African union is located in Ethiopia for goodness sake and we inspired the black nationalist movement. That's why the Ethiopians flag colors are considered PAN AFRICAN Jeesh...

The Jamaican flag

"Pan-African colors -- Ethiopia is one of the few African countries with little history of colonization by Europeans, and thus was seen as a model by emerging African nation-states in the 1950's and 1960's. The first to emulate Ethopia's green-yellow-red tricolor was Ghana in 1957, which flipped the colors and added a black star to represent the people. Red, yellow, green, and black became the basis for several sub-Sahara African flags. Examples: Republic of Congo, Senegal, Rwanda, Mali, Togo."

Rekik...but you will agree that not lot Ethiopia say their Africa. They like to say we are EThiopia then we are Africa. You may not say that but others do. I know Ethiopia was never been colonized and I do know that west and central countries did copy from Ethiopia. But the question is do Ethiopia people call themselve Africa first or Ethiopia?

It depends on where the Ethiopians from,total educational attainment and socialization.if they are from the countryside they might not even believe they are Ethiopian much less African or Black.
