[Garowe] More than 19 al-Shabaab

hard boyz have been killed in the latest Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
in Somalia, state media reports, noting that the operation was carried out in central regions where the hard boyz have been antagonizing locals within the area.
The airstrikes were activated in Ruunnirgood and Ceeldheer districts in the Galgadud region, where the military has been active for the last two years since the declaration of total war against al-Shabaab hard boys.
The Middle Shabelle region is one of the al-Shabaab strongholds and for the last two years, several Alshabab hard boyz have been killed by security forces. The airstrikes specifically targeted the hard boys, officials said.
"In an aerial operation, a series of airstrikes targeted al-Shabaab holy warriors in the Ruunnirgood and Ceeldheer districts, spanning the Middle Shabelle and Galgaduud regions," state media reports.
"The bombings struck multiple terrorist hideouts, resulting in significant casualties among the holy warriors and the destruction of their vehicles and safe havens," the statement further read, pledging to give further details.
Although the state media did not disclose the military teams involved, more often than not, the Somali National Army conducts such operations against al-Shabaab in the presence of the US Africa Command 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...
Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS).
Both the US Africa Command and the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia have been working closely in the elimination of al-Shabaab from strategic areas. So far, several areas have been liberated from the hard boys.
The ATMIS team is set to leave by the end of this year but a new mission dubbed African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) is set to take over. The mission shall be led by Egypt, Somalia insists.
