allAfrica.com: Somalia: Ethiopian Troops Withdraw From Border Town (Page 1 of 1): "Beledweyn — More Ethiopian troops have withdrawn from Kalaber Village about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Beledweyn, the regional capital of Hiiran region in central Somalia, eyewitnesses told Shabelle radio on Friday.

The Ethiopian troops have been in the region for the last three weeks and the residents have expressed concern about the presence of the Ethiopian troops in the region.
