Somali food riot turns deadly Thousands riot over high prices UN meets on food crisis

Mogadishu - Police fired in the air on Tuesday as thousands of Somalis descended into Mogadishu's violence-ridden streets to protest against rising food prices, a day after five were killed in similar demonstrations.

According to AFP correspondent, more than 10 000 people gathered in the southern neighbourhood of Madina and marched towards the main Bakara trading district, where rally leaders addressed the crowd.

Police fired in the air at one point during the march but no casualties were immediately reported.

The crowd briefly dispersed after the shots.
