300 Al-Shabab fighters flee toward Yemen
Yeehaw! Git along, little dogies!
NAIROBI, Kenya: The commander of African Union troops in Somalia says that close to 300 members of the militant group Al-Shabab fled ran away streamed out of Somalia in the direction of Yemen in recent days, a sign the militant group is under increasing pressure.
"Curly toed flippers don't fail me now!"
Maj. Gen. Fred Mugisha said Thursday that the recent announcement that Al-Shabab has formally merged with Al-Qaeda was an attempt to give a boost of confidence to an insurgent force that is losing power. He said the 300 militants -- mostly foreign fighters -- fled Somalia only days after the announced merger.
Perhaps we could chum the water...
