Since the arrival of the 500 strong government troops from Ceelwaaq, there has been a great agitation within the rank and file lines of Ras Kambooni. The most public and outspoken being MP Xidig (not publicly aligned, but a great supporter) calling them Al-Shabab in government clothing. Reports have also been circulating of Ras Kambooni's attempt to attack the forces before entering Kismaayo, but Kenyan Amisom preventing them from doing so. As Amisom was deliberating on the latest sequence of events and what do next, verified that every one of the troops were trained in Kenya and still had their Government issued i.d.'s. Having no other reason but Ras Kambooni's agitation, they concluded that they were free to be integrated into the Kismaayo security apparatus.
The government in a series of reform of the Military system, most dramatically highlighted in a new Commander of all military forces, and a new commandant. The first trip made by the new commander was to Kismaayo, along side him was the commander of Amisom troops. They had meetings with the Kenyan Amisom commanders, who fall under the Amisom commanders, and their first urgent insistence was that the newest troops where Government troops, and that more would follow. With the new General in command, was the new commander of all government troops in Lower Jubba, Col Cabdi Cigaal. The col will be replacing General Saxardiid, sources close to the government claim that there is extreme unhappiness with the general due to his handling of the recent Kismaayo clashes. Government troops were very pleased with the new change.
