Baidoa — Ethiopian forces with armed vehicles are patrolling streets in Baidoa after interring some parts of Somali Regions for the past days, reports say.
Sources in Baidoa, some 245KM southwest of Mogadishu indicate that Ethiopian infantry units are seen inside the town where the weak government is based.
According to the latest developments from the town, they patrol inside and outskirts of the town while people are asking each other what is next to come.
Somalia parliament approved foreign troops to intervene the country in order to back the federal institution extend powers through out the country.
It's yet unclear whether the move will upgrade possibilities of bloodshed but analyses say the Islamists in the country are likely to wage war against what they previously called clear aggression.
