MOGADISHU (Reuters) – One of Mogadishu’s last warlords holding out against powerful Islamists surrendered after losing most of his territory in two days of fighting that killed more than 140 people, militia sources said on Tuesday.

“It has become necessary to surrender and give peace a chance,” a militiaman loyal to warlord Abdi Awale Qaybdiid told Reuters.
