STORY HIGHLIGHTS
* Clashes flare when fighters attacked government bases in the capital
* It is unclear whether any militants or government forces were
injured
* Somalia has not had a stable government since 1991
Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN) -- Fresh fighting erupted between government forces
and Islamist rebels in the Somali capital, leaving at least 26 people dead
and dozens wounded Tuesday night, medical officials said.
About 60 more people were injured, medical officials said.
The casualties taken to local hospitals were civilians. It was unclear
whether any militants or government forces were injured.
Fighters from Hezbul-Islam and Al-Shabaab attacked government bases in Hodan
district, in south Mogadishu, according to medical sources.
The United States considers Al-Shabaab, which is al Qaeda's proxy in the
country, a terrorist organization.
Al-Shabaab is waging a war against Somalia's government in an effort to
implement a stricter form of Islamic law, or sharia.
Somalia has not had a stable government since 1991, and fighting between the
rebels and government troops has escalated the humanitarian crisis in the
famine-ravaged country.
