As I pen this, reports are current that the long awaited, much anticipated major assault on Alshabab control regions in Southern Somalia, on the part of the tgf and African Union forces, is underway in earnest. With in the next few weeks, I predict a large swath of terretories in these regions would be librated from the evil forces of Alshabab and their terrorist allies, as it is unlikely, that they would be put up much of a fight, considering their cowardly aversion to find themselves engaged in conventional warfare. Most of their defeated forces will fall in total dissarray, and disperse through out the country side, and many will make an attempt to return back to whatever community they hailed from, but some of the top lieutenants and their die hard supporters will be left with no choice but to carry on the fight by resorting to one of their favorite modus operandi, viz. suicide and IED attacks on mainly soft civilian targets. No matter, Alshabab days in these regions are all but numbered and they shall be soon be distant memories.
Now, I am just wondering, what contengency plan, if any, has the tgf in place to ensure that there are no power vacuum in these liberated towns and villages, and the territorial gains they make is not squandred to some warlord type strong man. The last thing we need is countless feifdoms and artificial state regions sprung about every where like a wild flower with little or no rule of law.
