... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...
controlled villages in southern Somalia on Friday afternoon.

The attack happened near El Wak town in Gedo region, where Al-Shabaab has bases used to plot attacks against Somali army and the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
forces in the border areas.

The KDF jets fired several missiles at bully boy camps, but it was not possible to determine the number of casualties because of poor visibility.
