Federal forces capture new areas in Bay region
2014-01-01
BAIDOA, Somalia -- The Somali Federal Government forces aided by Ethiopian troops seized three vicinities in Bay region of southern Somalia from Al Shabaab militants, Garowe Online reports.

The mayor of Bay regional district of Bardaale, Mohamed Isaq Arro As told the media that a clean-up operation that has been launched by Somali government forces led to the liberation of Iskoris, Morowarabe and Walaq villages.

"Al Shabaab fighters were removed from three areas in the outskirts of Bardaale after Somali Government and Ethiopian forces launched a military operation," said Aro As.

Witnesses reported that the operation met minimal resistance and Al Shabaab fighters fled the areas.

Despite, anti-Al Shabaab military offensives, the militant group still controls Ufurow and Diinsoor districts of Bay region.

You wouldn't want to actually enter Berkeley. A sustained battery from anywhere else would suffice.
