Somali government forces aided by African Union peacekeepers removed Al Qaeda-linked Al Shabaab militants from three villages in Bakool region of southwestern Somalia on Friday, Garowe Online reports.
Tiyeglow Mayor Mohamed Food Adde said that the allied forces liberated Bulo-Jadid, Bulo-Yusuf and El Jarmed from the terror group without tough resistance.
"The government will return the situation of liberated areas to normal," said Food Adde, the Mayor of Tiyeglow.
Despite severe setback on the front-line, Al Shabaab has long imposed blockade on the three villages. The militant group didn't spoke on the seizure by allied forces of areas acquiesced to their rule.

The quick fluidity of the raider is what won the early Arabs their empire, so good jihadis copy that pattern when they're dealing with territory instead of just blowing themselves up or stealing credit card numbers. |
