Members of an Islamist group poses during training on a back street in Mogadishu June 27, 2008. Conflict in Somalia has killed 2, 136 civilians so far this year, bringing the death toll since an Islamist-led insurgency began in early 2007 to 8,636, the Mogadishu-based Elman Peace and Human Rights Organisation said. It added that it had also recorded 11,790 civilian injuries since the start of last year, when rebels began attacking the Somali government and its Ethiopian military allies.
