Reports indicate that the fighters of Al-shabab had taken over the control of the zones where both sides fought on Wednesday night and the residents had expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... over the fighting between the two sides as military movements were still reporting. The latest reports from the warring zones say that Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a fighters are regrouping on the outskirt villages, nearly 15 Km away fromGooboTownship.
