BAIDOA, Somalia (Reuters) - Somalia's parliament on Wednesday approved the deployment of foreign peacekeepers to help it stabilize the anarchic country, a move which is opposed by Islamist militias who now control Mogadishu and much of the country's south, the Somali parliament speaker said.

 

Out of 199 members of parliament voting, 125 were in favor of a plan approved last year by the Inter-governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), which oversaw Somalia's peace process, and 73 were against with one spoiled vote, Parliament Speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan announced in parliament.
