Angry residents have been demanding that Ethiopia leaves
More than 70 people have died and more than 200 have been wounded in battles in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.
A BBC correspondent says Ethiopian forces are engaged in reprisal attacks after soldiers' bodies were dragged through the streets on Thursday.
Somalia's presidential envoy defended the Ethiopian army's tactics.
Abdirashid Sed told the BBC that the Ethiopians were responding to aggression by insurgents and had not attacked civilians.
Fighting between Islamist-led insurgents and elements of the Ethiopian army for control of Mogadishu has intensified during the past two weeks, prompting thousands of citizens to flee the city.
