Four gunmen were killed Sunday and another eight were killed Mon day in what appeared to be a cycle of revenge killings between Eyr and Suleiman sub-clans in Afgoe, 18 miles southwest of Mogadishu. Both belong to Habr-Gedir, a major group of the Hawiye clan led by Hus sein Aidid, a U.S. citizen and former Marine reservist. The hostility between the two groups has been unceasing since the Eyr gunmen killed Mogadishu busi nessman Qasim Sheikh Mohamoud. Aidid and clan elders have been unable to stop the killings, despite repeated attempts. Somalia has had no central gov ernment since the country disinte grated along clan and factional lines after the ouster of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991.
