Somali PM Mohamed orders UN to return to Mogadishu

UN agencies involved in Somalia, but based in neighbouring Kenya for safety reasons, have been told to move to Mogadishu within three months.

The order came from the prime minister of Somalia's UN-backed interim government, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed.

He said the UN had offices in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan which were "more dangerous than the Somali capital". Islamist militants linked to al-Qaeda control much of the country.

But the government, backed by African Union troops, has recently gained some ground in Mogadishu from the al-Shabab militants.
