ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AFP)--Ethiopia Tuesday denied its troops had crossed into neighboring Somalia, where Islamist rebels have launched an offensive against the government.

"No Ethiopian troops have entered Somalia. There is no change in the situation," state minister for communications Ermias Legesse told AFP.

Witnesses said they saw Ethiopian soldiers in dozens of armored vehicles in Kalabeyrka village, near Beledweyne, a town 300 kilometers north of the capital Mogadishu.

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot. According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"
