No clue at all. Couldn't have been a Shaboob because they say they're peaceful, so it must have been a Lutheran or a Baptist...
Bay region, once the headquarters of Al Shabaab, has been home to Somali government forces, Ethiopian and AMISOM troops who have managed to remove the terrorist organization from the major cities in the region. However Al Shabaab still has a strong presence in rural villages and an even stronger presence in the neighboring region of Bakool.
