Mogadishu - Somalia "is in a state of war", the country's Islamic leader said on Thursday and urged all Somalis to fight against Ethiopia.
Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys said: "All Somalis should take part in this struggle against Ethiopia. If you cannot fight you can contribute in other ways to the effort."
On Wednesday, he told a European Union envoy that he was willing to return to peace talks with the Ethiopian-backed Somali transitional government.
