MOGADISHU, Jan 2 (Reuters) - Somali Islamists on Tuesday said they refused a government offer to surrender after a two week war that drove them out of their strongholds.
"We cannot accept the government offer for surrender," Islamist spokesman Abdirahim Ali Mudey told Reuters by phone from a hideout.
"If the world thinks we are dead, they should know we are alive. We will rise out of the ashes."
