[REGNUM] Nearly 40 terrorist group members killed in clashes with military in Somalia

The Somali army eliminated about 40 militants of the Al-Shabaab terrorist group (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in the Middle Shabelle region, the Somali Ministry of Information reported on its website.

Several more terrorists were injured. The Somali authorities also claim that over the past three months, more than 600 members of this organization have been killed in Somalia, from which 68 settlements have been recaptured.

As REGNUM reported on November 28, militants from the Al-Shabaab group (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) attacked the Villa Rose Hotel in the center of the Somali capital Mogadishu. Four people were killed in the attack. The establishment was liberated.
Garowe adds:
A joint operation carried out by spy Somalia's agency and foreign partners has left over 40 al-Shabaab

Lions of Islam dead in Middle Shabelle, Somalia's government announced, in the latest victory against the group which is fading fast in the Horn of Africa nation.

According to state media, the National Intelligence Security Agency [NISA] conducted that operation in the vicinity of Mahaday town within Middle Shabelle on Thursday, leading to fierce fighting between the government troops and the al-Shabaab holy warriors.

Reports indicate that the Lions of Islam were plotting an attack within the town before they were neutralized by security forces

"Over 40 Khawarij Death Eaters neutralized in a joint operation conducted by NISA, national army, locals and global security partners at Ali Foldhere area under Mahaday town of Middle Shabelle region. Militants were targeted while regrouping to stage an attack, " state media noted.

The government did not exactly reveal the group of foreign soldiers who assisted the Somali troops during the raid but the US Africa Command and the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
Transition Mission in Somalia [ATMIS] have in the past assisted the military to successfully degrade the al-Shabaab holy warriors.

In fact, the US Africa Command has been doing this through regular Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s across al-Shabaab strongholds while ATMIS is on record for providing infantry units who directly confront the holy warriors.
