| Description |
Al Shabaab fighters took over Moda-Mode (Baidoa District) in the afternoon of 01/02/2014 after AMISOM (Uganda) forces vacated their position in the village. Al Shabaab fighters spent the whole night in the village before AMISOM (Uganda) and Somali forces came back the following morning (02/02). The AMISOM withdrawal was an uncoordinated move, Ugandan forces leaving their positions without ensuring that they would be immediately replaced by Ethiopian forces. Ugandan troops returned the following day to Moda-Mode, without a reported battle. |
