BALANBAL - More Ethiopian troops with armed heavy weapons have made new
military bases at Balanbal district of Galgudud region, where there had been
a base for some Ethiopian troops earlier in central Somalia, witnesses said
on Saturday.

Residents of Balanbal district confirmed the arrival of the Ethiopian troops
in the district to the journalists as more of the locals did not report any
interventions made by the troops.

It is unclear the grounds of the Ethiopian troops' arrival in the district
so far.

Residents said that the Ethiopian troops did yet talk to the people of the
district pointing out that they made their new military bases at the west
and south of the Balanbal town.

There were no problems or intimidations committing the Ethiopian troops to
the people of the town and it is unknown whether they would reach further to
the other districts of Galgudud region in central Somalia or not. It is not
the first time that Ethiopian troops cross border and enter parts of
Somalia.
