SOMALIA: Baidoa ceasefire document signed

The warring sides in the southern town of Baidoa have officially signed a ceasefire document, local sources told IRIN on Wednesday. They said the ceasefire, which was arranged by a mediation committee and announced over the weekend, has been observed by both sides, even before it was officially signed. Fighting between rival factions of the Rahanweyn Resistance Army (RRA), which controls much of Bay and Bakol regions in southwestern Somalia, erupted last week.
