| Somali forces, with the support of Ethiopian troops overran two Al shabaab bases, which situate near Diinsoor town, according to a senior Govt official. Confirming the incident, Diinsoor district commissioner Ibrahim Mohamed told Radio Shabelle by phone that the coalition forces swept into Gubadley and Misirre villages, after forcing Al shabaab to move away. “The military operations against Al shabaab militants will continue until the entire region is completely secured. Somali troops destroyed two Al shabaab camps in Misirre and Gubadley areas near Diinsoor town,” said Mohamed. Diinsoor town has been the biggest Al shabaab stronghold in Baay region before it fell to Somali and AMISOM forces in mid July, 2015 following an offensive. |
