Mogadishu, 24 Feb-(ANA)-Eritrea has called for all foreign troops to leave Somalia, amid a fresh attack by insurgents against African Union (AU) peacekeepers.
The Eritrean foreign ministry said external interference must stop if national reconciliation is to be achieved in Somalia.
It came as six people died in a morning fire-fight in the capital Mogadishu, when rebels targeted a barracks.
Meanwhile Burundi vowed to send more troops to the AU mission in Somalia.
Burundian Defence Minister Lt Gen Germain Niyoyankana told Radio France Internationale they planned to reinforce their presence with a battalion of 850 men as soon as possible.
The minister said his government would not be deterred by Sunday's suicide attack - claimed by the radical al-Shabab group - on a barracks in Mogadishu which left 11 Burundian peacekeepers dead. (ANA)
