MOGADISHU (Reuters) - One of Mogadishu's last warlords holding out against powerful Islamists surrendered after losing most of his territory in two days of fighting that killed more than 140 people, militia sources said on Tuesday.
"It has become necessary to surrender and give peace a chance," a militiaman loyal to warlord Abdi Awale Qaybdiid told Reuters.
Qaybdiid is the last of an alliance of U.S.-backed warlords who called themselves an anti-terrorism group. He kept fighting after the Islamists routed the other warlords and seized the Somali capital last month.
Displaying weapons seized from Qaybdiid, the Islamists said their victory was a turning point for Mogadishu -- one of the world's most dangerous cities -- and called on remaining rival fighters to surrender.

Whoops! I mean it's Bush's fault.
Wow. Pravda was more subtle than Reuters.
I notice that "give peace a chance" is the term used after you've been mercilessly butchered to the last man.
Translation: "We're running low on men and ammo."

I think he will find the situation to be"
"It has become necessary to surrender and give torture and mutilation a chance," a militiaman loyal to warlord Abdi Awale Qaybdiid told Reuters.
Another one?
I thought they had taken control of the city last week. It seems like every day they talk about another war lord who just now 'surrendered' in Mogadishu.
Perhaps talks about their controlling the city are far to premature.
We dealt with the lawlessness of a starving country by letting the UN be in charge of the situation and just serving there to take casualties.
Once casualties were taken, we looked to our Commander in Chief for leadership, forgetting he denied our military minimal armored vehicles.
He, in turn, took the advice that it wouldn't make him look good on TV and decided to walk away because it would cut into his philandering as well..
The warlords divided the spoils and the islamic fascists came to restore their brand of Order.
What happened to the 92 African nation coalition?
