Somalia: At least 7 Al-Shabaab members killed joint operation
|
[ShabelleMedia] Somali army backed by Jubaland troops conducted a joint military operation in Lower Jubba days after President Hassan Sheikh visited the southern region.
The combined forces targeted al-Shabaab
 ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
bases near the village of Mido which is 26-KM away from Afmadow District which is under Jubaland state control.
It has been confirmed that 7 al-Shabaab members, including a commander named Asad, were killed in the operation. The krazed killer group didn’t comment on the army claims.
Also, during the operation, 4 AK47 rifles, 1 BKM were recovered as the Commander of the 5th Brigade of the elite Danab force Arab Dheeg Ahmed told the local media on Monday.
The operation is part of the war against al-Shabaab in the Jubaland and other Federal States in Somalia, except Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
which has managed to contain the terrorist menace.
In recent months, the Somali national army [SNA] and local clan militias retook chunks of territory in Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
