2014-03-11
This fight between the co-allied Government Forces and AMISOM soldiers against the Al-Shabaab occurred at a territory known as 'Jiidow' very near to Shalanbood in the Lower Shabelle region.

According to locals, they described to Shabelle that heavy as well as light ammunition and arms were used during the fight. Witnesses say that the fight was ongoing for at least a few hours and that it caused both losses in terms of death and casualties although it hasn't been fully specified.

Somali Federal Government Officials in the Lower Shabelle region confirmed to Shabelle that the fight did indeed prevail injuries to their soldiers.

How about BLUE. It works for our politics.

#3  No need for such a color designation. All of Africa is "hopelessly f#@;&d up", and will continue to be so as long as tribalism is the only source of loyalty.
