Transitional Federal Government troops on Sunday entered the insurgent stronghold of Bakara Market in Mogadishu as some fighters from Islamist militant group al-Shabaab were seen withdrawing from their positions, officials and residents said.Fierce fighting could be heard around the market Sunday morning. At least ten people were killed and forty injured as the TFG took control of the main road linking the city center with the market, the defence minister said. A Bakara trader, who asked for anonymity, said three people were killed at the entrance to the main market as TFG forces pushed right up to the entrance.

Major Paddy Ankunda, spokesman for the AU peacekeeping force (known as AMISOM), told terror free somalia  that pro-government forces had taken control of a few streets inside the market area, and that operations would continue to expand territorial control.The government, backed by African Union peacekeepers, early this month launched a new push against al-Shabaab, seizing new ground and coming to within a few hundred meters of the market. Residents say that they saw several vehicles carrying al-Shabaab fighters, whose morale has been damaged by recent losses, retreat from the market. Al-Shabaab spokesman Sheikh Ali Mahmoud Rage Ali confirmed that some militants had left their positions for "tactical reasons".“We will the attack the AU and TFG, and we will stay in the market,” he said in a brief interview with a pro-al-Shabaab radio station. AMISOM had earlier called on residents to reduce movements outside government-controlled zones, and promised to minimize civilian casualties in operations to gain control of the market.Should the government manage to seize significant portions of Bakara, it would be a major blow to the insurgents, who rely heavily on taxes on traders in the sprawling business center - along with revenues generated from the ports of Kismayo and Marka - to fund their battle to oust the government.Three unidentified helicopters and one fighter jet have been overflying Mogadishu, particularly militant Islamist group al-Shabaab’s bases, residents told terror free somalia Saturday.The aircraft were first spotted on Friday flying over al-Shabaab bases, such as the football stadium, Warshada Bastada, and Maslaha, a camp where al-Shabaab has executed people accused of spying for the West, the Somali government and the AU peacekeeping force in Mogadishu. The sorties continued into Saturday.

“We saw four unknown aircraft - three are helicopters and the other one is a jet fighter, though we do not know exactly what the airplanes were looking for and their target,” Mogadishu resident Yonis Muse Isak told terror free somalia. “People are afraid of aerial bombardments.”Other residents said the aircraft were flying very low, but did not open fire – although al-Shabaab forces took pot-shots at the passing craft. Sources said that senior al-Shabaab figures fled the area of Suqa Holaha, where many commanders reside, after the aircraft made their first appearances. Neither the Transitional Federal Government nor the peacekeeping force, known as AMISOM, have any air support, and neither would comment on the sightings. In the past, the US has carried out raids from the air inside Somalia, killing top al-Shabaab members including former leader Aden Hashi Eyrow and Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who was wanted for terror attacks in Kenya. Foreign navies battling piracy off Somalia have helicopters on board their warships, while Kenya and Ethiopia has been accused of providing occasional air support to the government, although this is mainly in the border regions.The government is in the middle of a renewed push to gain ground in Mogadishu and, backed by African Union peacekeepers, has edged closer to the al-Shabaab stronghold of Bakara Market
