Fall of Mogadishu
Beginning of Ethiopian military occupation of Mogadishu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fall of Mogadishu was a major episode of the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia. It occurred on 28 December 2006, when the Ethiopian National Defence Forces (ENDF) entered the capital in support of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), following the withdrawal of Islamic Courts Union (ICU) troops deployed in southern and central Somalia. The ICU had governed Mogadishu since June 2006, becoming the first authority since 1991 to place the city under a single administration.
