The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) said it has enhanced security operations in the restive Somali capital and its environs to flush out al-Shabab militants as the holy month of Ramadan ends later this week.
The AU mission said Monday the security operations are being carried out in localities that include Hawahabid, Lafoole, Afgoye, Albao, and Lantabur in the south of Mogadishu to degrade the militants who have engaged the Somali and allied forces in nearly daily attacks.
The heightened security comes a few days since the al Shabaab militants conducted several attacks on security officers including an ambush that left a US soldier dead. moreover, the increased security is set to keep Mogadishu safe as Muslim prepare to end their holy month of Ramadhan.
