This is the begin to the end of Al-shabbab militias group who cause Somali people years of anarchy murder thousands people, provoked millions and destroy millions property. Somali government forces backed by forces from the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) forces took over a base used by al Qaeda-backed Al-Shabaab militants on the northern outskirts of Mogadishu, AMISOM said in a statement. The based had been used to execute civilians suspected of being spies for the government and to launch attacks on the capital, acceding to AMISOM.
“Today’s operation has successfully extended the city’s defenses and will deny the terrorists important ground from which they have been attacking the population,” said AMISOM Force Commander Maj. Gen. Fred Mugisha in a statement about the operation, which occurred Friday in Maslah.Two AMISOM soldiers were wounded in the operation, he said.
Maslah has been the site where, since 2008, extremists have executed civilians by firing squad, in some cases hacking limbs from their bodies, making it one of the most feared militant bases in Mogadishu, residents say.Al-Shabaab, a militant Islamist group that controls much of southern Somalia and is active around the capital, Mogadishu, has waged an insurgency against the weak Transitional Federal Government since 2007.Since last August, AMISOM has helped clear Al-Shabaab militants from their bases within the capital. Friday’s seizure of the base gives full control of Mogadishu to AMISOM and the Somali government, according to the government.
“This is the last base that we are capturing from Al-Shabaab and today Mogadishu is the hands of the Somali government forces and we shall continue fighting until we shall eradicate the extremist in our country as whole,” said Abdikarin Yusuf Aden, a Somali government commander.
