Marka is about 100 kilometres south of the capital, Mogadishu, from where the rebels have been largely routed by African Union forces.Kenyan and Somali government troops are approaching Kismayu from the south after taking a string of towns on the coastline.The Tuesday display came as Kenya’s military incursion inside Somalia was debated in the UK parliament.
Using loud speakers on minibuses, the militants drove around calling on the inhabitants of Marka, the capital of Lower Shabelle region, to come out and watch a big military display.
