MOGADISHU (AFP) — Ethiopian Woyanne forces on Thursday killed four people in a southern Somalia town after their pick-up truck collided with a civilian vehicle, police and witnesses said.

Somali police confirmed four people had been killed in Baidoa, 250 kilometres (155 miles) northwest of the capital Mogadishu.

“I am not sure how it happened, but it’s true that four civilians were shot dead near Unaye intersection,” said Hussein Ali, a Somali police official.

A witness said the civilian truck collided with the Ethiopian Woyanne vehicle after its brakes failed.
