Asmara opening Mogadishu embassy, Somali paper claims

    NAIROBI
    The government of Eritrea is set to open an embassy in south Mogadishu, and a new ambassador is expected there within a week, according to media reports from the Somali capital. The south Mogadishu administration of Hussein Aideed was reported by the Somali newspaper 'Qaran' to be putting the finishing touches to the building which would house the Eritrean embassy. However, a spokesman at the Eritrean embassy in Nairobi told IRIN on Tuesday he had heard nothing of such a plan.
