| [Shabelle] fear is in the air as two different politicians declare themselves as the presidents of Juba land region. The atmosphere has changed gradually as different troops are facing against each other and the residents of the port city of Kismayu have started evacuating their residency. The self claimed presidents consist of Colonel Bare Adan Shire (Bare Hirale) and Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Ahmed Madobe). AMISOM troops from Kenya are in the city seemed to be confused about the situation as they clearly failed to establish their relationship with the federal Government.
