(SomaliNet) As fresh violence engulfed the Somali capital Mogadishu, Ethiopian forces opened fire on demonstrators protesting against their presence in Mogadishu Sunday, killing three, witnesses said.

A crowd of hundreds of protesters chanting "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) and wielding sticks had been marching in the streets of southern Mogadishu in reaction to the latest Ethiopian crackdown on the insurgency when the deaths occurred.

"A young boy and two other civilians died when Ethiopian forces in Suqaholaha area opened fire on us. We were demonstrating against them and they opened fire to disperse the crowd," witness Hussein Adan Suley said.

"We ran away when the Ethiopians opened fire. I know that one child was killed," said another protester, Asma Wardhere.-Agencies
