MOGADISHU (Reuter) - Heavy fighting between rival Somali militiamen resumed in a district of Somalia's capital on Friday, days after more than 20 people were killed and 130 wounded.
Witnesses said forces loyal to faction leaders Ali Mahdi Mohamed and Mohamed Farah Aideed exchanged fire with anti-tank cannon and automatic weapons in Bermuda district Friday.
Hospital officials said at least four people were killed and 16 wounded in the new bout of battles, which were continuing.
Twenty-two people were killed and 130 wounded in four days of fighting in Bermuda and the ``Green Line'' battle zone dividing the city until shooting stopped Tuesday without any peace agreement.
Both sides blamed the other for starting the street battles.
Tension has mounted since Aideed's supporters elected him president of Somalia in June. His main rivals denounced the move and urged the world not to recognize his government.
The two groups fought earlier this month when gunmen loyal to Aideed built roadblocks and confiscated firearms from civilians in a disarmament campaign announced by his government.
In a decree announced by Aideed's radio station Friday, his government said guards for local companies and international organizations were allowed to keep their weapons.
Somalia has had no internationally recognized government since the fall of late president Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. U.N. peacekeepers withdrew in March after failing to restore order.
