(SomaliNet) Crazed Islamist terrorists insurgents battling the Somali government and Ethiopian forces are increasingly taking the fight outside of the capital Mogadishu, an African Union report said Friday, AFP reports. "Over the past weeks, the anti-government forces have spread their activities to regions that were previously peaceful, though not necessarily under government control," said the report by AU Commission Chairman Alpha Oumar Konare.

The report said insurgents were training recruits and planning attacks in the Lower and Upper Jubba regions, the two southernmost provinces in the troubled Horn of Africa country. "Armed elements are also reported to be using the Lower Shabelle region to ferry arms," Konare's report said.
The report listed recent incidents it said were further evidence that the armed wing of the Islamist movement that controlled large parts of the country for months in 2006 was seeking to destabilise the government nationwide. |
