Gunfight between Al-Shabaab and AU forces leaves three dead in Somalia
[Garowe] A shootout exchange between al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
forces of Evil 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 [AMISOM] from Djibouti left three children from the same family dead, in what could yet again trigger condemnation in the Horn of Africa nation.

Reports indicate that al-Shabaab forces of Evil fight AMISOM troops from the Djiboutian contingent in Beledweyne, central Somalia, leading to the death of three children from the same family in Somalia.

According to multiple sources, al-Shabaab fighters fired mortar shells at the Djibouti forces military base in Howl-wadaag area sparking a fight between the two sides. It's not the first time the forces of Evil are targeting military bases in the country.

The Mortar shells landed in the family of the two siblings killing them and injuring others, sources added. It's the al-Shabaab mortars that killed the children and not the bullets from either side, reports indicate.

Already, the situation has been controlled but authorities from the town and the Djiboutian military are yet to issue a public statement with regard to the matter. However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
the al-Shabaab forces of Evil have since taken responsibility for the attack.

The Djiboutian contingent has been operating in the region for almost a decade under the African Union Peacekeeping mission. The mandate of the soldiers will expire later on this month but there are plans to reconfigure them for a joint mission with United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
Cases of civilian deaths in Somalia are common in such circumstances, with the latest taking place in Lower Shabelle. Already, three Ugandan soldiers have been slapped with a death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
after it emerged that they killed seven civilians who didn't have affiliation with al-Shabaab.
