Residents are burying their loved ones in the Somali capital after a bloody weekend, and hundreds are fleeing during a lull in the violence.
A local human rights group says street fighting Sunday between Ethiopian troops and Islamic fighters trying to bring down the shaky government left 81 people dead over two days.
An Associated Press reporter saw at least 10 bodies being collected Monday around a mosque. Hundreds of residents are leaving the city by car, on foot or on donkey carts.
Somalia has not had a functioning government since 1991.
