Somalia, AU soldiers move to held Al Shabab town
2015-07-06
BARDHERE -- Somalia government troops along with African Union mission in Somalia (AMISOM) forces moved towards held Al Shabab town in Gedo region in south of Somalia, military sources said.

The coalition troops were making military maneuvering in Elwak and Garbaharey towns in Gedo region, a bid to take control of Bardere, a key town for Al Shabab militants, sources have told Shabelle Media in Mogadishu

The officials from allied forces were unavailable to reach on the phone for comments on their move towards Al Shabab held town in south of Somalia but the sources said that deadly offensive on the insurgents could be feared to happen in town.

This move comes days after Somalia soldiers supported by AMISOM peacekeepers accused of vacating from at least 12 towns located in lower Shabelle region where Al Shabab killed at least 50 AU soldiers from Burundi.
