In their latest clash, soldiers of the Somali National Army backed by Ethiopian troops serving under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) fought with armed Al-Shabaab assailants today in Burduhul, a town in-between Yeed and Wajid after an AMISOM convoy was attacked by the insurgents.
Several of the Al-Shabaab fighters were killed in the battle whereby dozens of others were wounded. Somali government officials have confirmed that the co-allied Ethiopian and Somali National Army troops were successful in triumphing over the fight.
The atmosphere now is reported to be serene although civilians in Burduhul have voiced their concerns of possible brawls in the near future.
