| Description |
AMISOM Ethiopian contingent vacated their base in Buq-Goosaar (50km SW of Beled Weyne) on 25/03 and moved to Ceel Cade (26km NE of Bur-Goosaar) where the Ethiopians have another base. Al Shabaab fighters soon took over the village following the departure of the Ethiopian forces. Reports indicate that some civilians also left the village in fear of been targeted by al Shabaab fighters. It's not clear why the AMISOM forces vacated the village. The move might negatively impact on accessibility and might also reinforce al Shabaab economic blockade against liberated towns in the area. |
