who targeted recruits undergoing training in a military camp.
The incident took place outside Bardere town, where SNA was training local community fighters prepared to take part in a pending army offensive against al-Shabaab in Gedo.
Æthiopian troops stationed in a nearby base responded to a call for reinforcement and joined the Somali army repulse the al-Shabaab attack, according to the residents.
Al-Shabaab claimed it seized control of the base and killed dozens of clan militia fighters but the military dismissed the report. There were no independent confirmation.
The attack comes as Somalia’s government said the second phase of a military offensive against the al-Qaeda-linked Death Eater group al-Shabaab would start soon in Jubaland and Southwest States.
The neighboring countries — Kenya, Djibouti and Æthiopia are to dispatch non-ATMIS troops to support Somali forces against al-Shabaab in the next phase of military operations.
Dozens of villages and few major towns were liberated since the launching an offensive last August by the government and allied clan militias who forced the holy warriors to flee from swathes of territory in central Somalia.
