ASWJ: Our withdrawal from some Somali towns was "a military tactics"
2012-06-17
(Sh.M.Network)-An official of Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a (ASWJ), a pro-Somali government group, affirmed that their recent abandon from towns in central Somalia was just "a military tactics" and he said they will move back to their former positions before long.

Sheik Ahmed Abdullahi Ilka-case, the chairman of ASWJ's executive council in central Somalia, told Shabelle Media in a telephone interview on Saturday that his fighters abandoned the towns after changing their military combat against Al shabab Death Eaters in Hiiran and Galgadud regions.

He denied claims that top ASWJ officials have disagreed with the military strategy against Al shabab Death Eaters in centralSomalia.

... the personification of Somali state failure...
fighters have moved back into central Somali towns, including El Bur, Wabho and other neighboring areas in Hiiran and Galgadud region in central Somalia that abandoned by ASWJ and Æthiopian troops over unknown circumstances.
