Despite being in the grip of violence, Somali terror groups continue waging attacks on Federal Gov’t officials and the AU bases in the long chaotic Somalia.
Somalia’s south-west administration president Shariif Hassan Shiekh Aadan has called AU troops to eradicate Al-shabaab bases in the region swiftly.
The Al-Qaeda linked militants, Al-shabaab controls large grounds in the central and southern Somalia, having capabilities to stage hit and run attacks on Gov’t troops.
“Our forces are fortified to launch a military offensive against the Al-shabaab and their supporters in the region. “ The regional state president has told reporters in Baidoa.
Somalia continues to face mounting political and security challenges that experts say continue to stand in the way of the country’s overall improvements.
