| (Sh.M.Network) --The front man of 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 in Somalia (AMISOM) Col. Ali Aden Mahud, urged the fighters remaining in Al shabab to cease fighting and give themselves up to the coalition forces. "We urge all the fighters still remaining in Al shabab to lay down their arms. We have assured them of their safety if they give themselves up to our forces," he said at a presser in Mogadishu on Thursday. The Somali National Army (SNA) along with Kenyan army in the UN-backed African Union mission in Somalia have secured last weekend the southern port of Kismayo, 500 Km south of Mogadishu following two months of offensives with Al shabab jihad boys. |
