the spokesman of Hizbul Islam group Muse Abdi Arrale said they would take out their fighters from the fighting areas to allow the civilians to return to their homes.
Hawiye Traditional Elders said Sunday Hizbal Islam Islamist group agreed with them to take their fighters out from the fighting areas where they have been fighting with government forces and AU troops supporting the government.
The chairman of Hawiye traditional elders, Mohamed Hassan Haad, said they were organizing peace rallies to celebrate for the peace and demonstrators will march through the streets where the insurgents and the government troops have been fighting.
At least 50 people were killed last week in the bloodiest clashes since the president, a moderate Islamist, was elected.
African Union peacekeepers, who are constantly under attack from Islamist insurgents, are the only foreign troops left in the country after Ethiopian soldiers pulled out last month.
