ARPCT is a secular group that is rumored to be funded by the United States . ARPCT fought against the Islamic Court 's militia in Mogadishu on February 18 , 2006 , using rocket-propelled grenades and anti-aircraft guns. 10 people, most of whom were civilians, died in the fighting, mostly from stray bullets. "We remind the warring sides that no one ever won a war during the past 15 years of fighting," said Somalian Culture Minister Abdi Hashi Abdullahi . Another battle between ARPCT and Islamic militants on February 21 ended with 13 people dead and 23 wounded. Somali Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys said on Radio Shabelle , "the violence was started by the people who have proclaimed themselves to be fighters against Terrorism . This battle is between us, the people of peace against those of evil. The clashes will only stop if forces of evil (warlords) request forgiveness. We shall fight on." Both groups want to gain control of 21 October Road where military barracks and a large supply of weapons were stored by the former Military of Somalia. Former militia commander Mohammed Daud said, "the fighting intensified in the afternoon killing 13 people. The wounded are more than 23. The main target of the bombardment was the military academy, military barracks." {Link without Title} EXTERNAL LINKS |
