MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali troops backed by pro-government militia took
two towns from rebel Islamist group al Shabaab in fighting on Monday
morning, local officials said.
Battles have raged across central and southern Somalia in recent weeks as
Somali troops backed by the moderate Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca militia struggle
to reclaim territory from al Shabaab, which has links to al Qaeda.
The soldiers captured Luq, 80 km (50 miles) from the Ethiopian border, and
Elwaq, a frontier town close to Kenya after taking Beledhawo over the
weekend.

Pro-Somali government forces have seized the town of Bulo Hawo on the
border with Kenya and Ethiopia from the hardline Islamist group al-Shabab.
while for madoobe from his own mouth said
In southern Somalia, the leader of the Raas Kaambooni Brigade, fighting
alongside TFG forces and the Kenyan military, said the areas freed from
Al-Shabab control urgently require food aid and medicine.
Mr Ahmed Mohammed Islan told the Nation the conditions are now safe for
international aid agencies.
Mr Islan, also known Madoobe, said the entry of the Kenya Defence Forces
on the scene led to the routing of the Al-Shabab, which had taken over
the strategic town by the sea.
The Kenyan troops are on the third week of Operation Linda Nchi in
Somalia aimed against the extremist militia blamed for insecurity across
the Horn of Africa.
The ultimate plan is to capture the two Al-Shabab strongholds of Afmadow
and Kismaayo and allow TFG to take control.

that is the difference between someone who is weak an implanted by kenya compared to actual jubbaland soldiers freeing their cities without any help whatsoever.
