They can not find the insurgents face to face, so what do they do? They shell markets, schools, hospitals, mosques, madrasahs & civilian homes. The shelling of Bakarah market reminds me of the Serbian shellings of Sarajevo markets in 1995.

As Ethiopian and Somali government troops fought insurgents across Mogadishu on Thursday, several rockets slammed into the Al Barakah market when it was crowded with shoppers including many women buying milk.
"A lot of women were crying and men were running and pulling people out from under rubble all over the place," market worker Adan Kulow, who was injured by shrapnel, told Reuters. "I saw about 20 wounded carried away on hand carts."
"Six consecutive missiles hit. ... There are many wounded," said Hassan Ibrahim, who drove a minivan full of injured people to Madina Hospital from the central Al Barakah district.
Throughout the day, heavy shelling sounded around the coastal capital. Minibuses raced scores of wounded to packed hospitals. Reuters verified 12 civilian deaths but residents said there were probably many more.
