From The BBC:
Ethiopia has reaffirmed that it will withdraw its forces from Somalia by the end of the month after confusion over its pullout dates.
Reporters in the Somali capital say residents in Mogadishu expected the troops to have gone by Friday, according to a UN-backed peace deal.
But Ethiopia's ambassador to the UK told the BBC the deadline has always been the end of December.
Ethiopia went into Somalia two years ago to help oust Islamist forces.

The Ethiopian and interim Somali government troops are limited to parts of Mogadishu and the central town of Baidoa, where parliament is based.
