SOMALIA-UNREST-AMISOM
TO GO WITH AFP STORY By Peter Martell
Photo made on October 5, 2011 shows a soldier attached to Battle-Group-Eight (BG-VIII) of the Ugandan contingent of AMISOM, the African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia at a base in the Mogadishu stadium, recently captured from al-Qaeda inspired, Al-Shebab Somali hardline extremists. Somalia's national stadium has not hosted a football match for decades, instead, the bullet-scarred building has served as a strategic base for the multiple armies that have battled for control of this anarchic city. Its grim history is marked by graffiti on its crumbling walls left by the various soldiers, warlords and rebels who have put the sports stadium to alternative use. In what were once changing rooms, blood oozes down plastic tubes as its latest residents -- Ugandan soldiers -- donate supplies ready for battles to drive out diehard Islamist Shebab insurgents from war-torn Mogadishu.
