AMISOM and National Army Gain Ground on Shabaab in Southern Somalia
Soldiers of the Kenyan contingent serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) are seen silhouetted against the sky while standing atop a tank in Saa'moja, an area approximately 7 kilometres outside the Somali port city of Kismayo.
For the last two months, AMISOM’s Kenyan contingent, in support of the Somali National Army (SNA), has been steadily liberating areas and villages in southern Somalia formerly under the control of the extremist group, Al Shabaab, bringing them to the outskirts of the group’s last major stronghold.
