MOGADISHU [SMN] – Burundian troops under ATMIS along with Somali government forces have today taken control of El-Baraf village in the Middle Shabelle region peacefully.
Allied forces entered the area, taking control of military bases after Al-Shabaab’s pull-out.
The residents said they are fearful of fighting in El Baraf between Al-Shabaab and the combined troops that made the comeback after two weeks.
Al-Shabaab attacked the base early this month and killed dozens of Burundian peacekeepers and wounded several in one of the deadliest raids on AU bases.
