Al-Shabaab suffers multiple defeats in Somalia; loses more ground
2021-06-16
[Garowe] When General Yusuf Rageh Odowaa announced major crackdowns against al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
in Central and Southern Somalia, he insisted that "we shall crush them, reclaim our territories" and true to his words, the hard boyz have continued to suffer defeats in recent weeks.

But even more fascinating, unlike in many setups of the army, Gen. Odowaa Yusuf Rageh took upon himself to lead a crackdown against the bad boys, something which has seemingly yielded fruits in recent weeks.
