Reports from Burhakaba say the Ethiopian and Somali government troops that took control of the district have pulled out returning to their base in Baidoa.
Residential militias accompanied by the Union of Islamic Courts with two battlewagons mounted with anti-aircraft guns recaptured Burhakaba, 180 km southwest of the capital.
Earlier the Islamic Courts in Mogadishu said they sent more of their troops and battlewagons to Burhakaba to evict the Ethiopians.
