Somali Army Kicks Out Al-Shabaab militants from key areas: residents
|
[Garowe] The Somali National Army [SNA] has managed to retake four al-Shabaab
 ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
villages in Southern Somalia, following an intensive crackdown that comes at the time the country is preparing for Lower House elections.
Southern Somalia especially in parts of Lower/middle Jubba and Lower Shabelle is dominated by the gunnies who have been seeking to topple the fragile UN-backed Somalia administration, which is considered one of the weakest in the world.
Top army officials said most of the liberated villages are in the Bakool region where the SNA has been pursuing the bad boys. It's just early this week the military foiled an al-Shabaab attack according to officials.
"Our troops liberated Gomor, Aboore, Banjina, and Doonful, near the town of Hudur, from terrorists," Abdi Ahmed Adan, a military official in Bakool, told Anadolu Agency over the phone.
The top army officer said the snuffies were driven out with little resistance and there were no casualties in the operations.
| Of course — their method is to flow away from attacks, then flood in when government forces leave. |
The villages are strategic in the sense that they are major humanitarian assistance routes in the country.
Shiine Moalim Nuurow, the governor of Bakol, was in the area and assured residents that operations against al-Shabaab will continue until all snuffies are driven out from the region, according to Adan.
For the last couple of months, the Somali National 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...
Mission Forces in Somalia have intensified the fight against the al-Shabaab bad boys. Quite a number of towns have been liberated across the country.
Al-Shabaab's latest serious attack was in the capital Mogadishu less than a week ago, where a jacket wallah targeted a convoy of the African Union Mission in Somalia [AMISOM], killing three people and injuring a number of people.
Mohammed Hussein Roble, the Prime Minister of the federal republic of Somalia, visited military bases in the central state of Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
on Wednesday, where he commended soldiers and urged them to keep up their "important fight against terrorism."
Al-Shabaab has been seriously degraded according to the State Department but the group can still wage small to large scale sporadic attacks in the country. Thousands of people have died as a result of cowardly attacks waged by the bad boys.
