SOMALIA-UNREST-MERKA-MILITIAS
A picture taken on January 19, 2008 shows Somalia clan militias that once supported the transitional government onboard an armed vehicle outside Merka in Somalia's lower Shabelle region. Somalia's hardline Shebab group on November 12, 2008 took over the southern port of Merka, a key entry point for food aid, further tightening the Islamists' grip on the war-torn Horn of Africa country. Islamists have made significant military gains in recent months, leaving the embattled western-backed transitional federal government only in control of some parts of the capital Mogadishu and Baidoa, where parliament is seated.
