| Description |
Pro-Somali (unnamed) forces attacked an al Shabaab position in Saydheelow village, 27km NW of Baidoa on 12/03. Al Shabaab vacated the village shortly before the pro-government troops arrived and took control of the village without any resistance. The pro-government militia pulled out of the village afterwards and headed back to their base in Baidoa. While on their way back, they were ambushed by al Shabaab fighters and a brief fire fight ensued. No casualties were reported during the skirmish. |
