Æthiopian army takes AU base in south of Somalia
2015-07-02
LEGO, Somalia - Hundreds of Ethiopian Forces serving under AU mission for Somalia, have on Tuesday took the control of Leego town in lower Shabelle region following deadly attack on AU military base in south of Somalia by Al Shabab.

The Ethiopian forces reportedly moved from Jame’o area 30Km away from Burhakaba town in south of Somalia’s Bay region in an attempt to push Al Shabab militants out of Lower Shabelle region, local residents said on Tuesday.

Military sources told Shabelle Media in Mogadishu that hundreds of African Union forces from Ethiopia have on Tuesday set up new military bases in the parts of lower Shabelle region in a bid to thwart Al Shabab fighters’ attempts.
You get the sense that the Æthiops won't screw around...
Meanwhile, Somalia army along with African Union peacekeeping forces have reportedly vacated from Toratorow and Leego towns over unknown reason, according to residents who spoke to Shabelle Media based in Mogadishu.

The arrival of Ethiopians comes a days after Al Shabab rebels claimed to have killed at least 50 African Union peacekeeping forces from Burundi at AU military base in Leego lies 130 Km South-West of Mogadishu.
