#1 For the life of me I can't discern Somalia's strategy. Instead of fighting on three fronts at once, why not use locals, Kenya, AU troops with US support to clear the area south of the Juba River and use Kismayo as a base of operations. Once that is done, then move north to destroy Shabaab south of Mogadiscu. With the lower half of Somalia cleared then move north to fight Shabaab in the most difficult of all regions and where a holding operation should be taking place until the southern half of Somalia can be cleared.
