MOGADISHU, Somalia — Thousands of Somalis fleeing fighting around the capital have massed in a northern town, trying to cross the Gulf of Aden and sneak into Yemen, the U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday.
The exodus comes as the country’s beleaguered president prepares for a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton next week.
The UNHCR said nearly a quarter of a million Somalis had fled their homes since May 7, when newly unified Islamist insurgents launched an attack on Mogadishu.
