Somalia Joins African Union in Major Drive Against Al Shabaab

Somali and African Union forces are planning a major assault on the Al Shabaab militia in their last major stronghold, the southern port of Kismayu.

Since being ejected from the capital, Mogadishu, a year ago, the militia have sustained dramatic losses in central and southern Somalia, their traditional bastion. Its leaders now plan to transform themselves into a guerrilla movement and rebrand as the alternative to the new Somalia government.
