(NSI News Source Info) MOGADISHU, Somalia - May 12, 2009: Local journalists take pictures at the scene of the killing of a Somali government soldier near Mogadishu stadium, on May 11, 2009. 
Remains of dead soldiers littered an area around the stadium following heavy exchanges with Al-Shebab militia, yesterday, that have left nearly 40 people dead and some 200, mostly civilians, wounded.
Embattled Somalia President, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed has vowed to defend his fledgling government, now rocked by renewed fighting between government troops and Islamist hardliners amid refusal by the latter to hold talks with the authorities, even after the government endorsed plans to introduce Islamic law, a key demand by the rebels for their co-operation with the Sheikh Sharif's regime.
