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Somalia: Ethiopian Troops Withdraw From Border Town (Page 1 of 1): "Beledweyn — More Ethiopian troops have withdrawn from Kalaber Village about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Beledweyn, the regional capital of Hiiran region in central Somalia, eyewitnesses told Shabelle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

Locals say the Ethiopian troops with more military trucks left from the region heading to the border between the two countries.

The Ethiopian soldiers hijacked more Somali, civilian trucks and killed civilians during their presence in the region.

Ethiopia pulled out its troops from Somalia last month as a part of an agreement between the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia and the transitional government. But residents and clan elders said that the Ethiopian troops have re-entered Somalia, which Ethiopia denied strongly."

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.”"
