Moving towards Kismayo, al Shebab's last major stronghold

Issued on:

The Ethiopian military, Kenyan defense forces, Amisom troops, and several TFG-aligned Somali militias have secured much of South Central Somalia from al-Shebab. As military preparations are made to seize Kismayo, the Islamist insurgents’ last stronghold, the political aftermath remains unclear. With the lucrative port up for grabs, a liberated Kismayo could test the uneasy alliance between various Somali factions.
