AMISOM’s Burundian contingent last evening launched an operation to secure outstanding areas of the Banadir distict which extremists have been using to target the population in the capital, Mogadishu.In a press release the force said the operation resulted in the capture of the Daynille airstrip which was previously controlled by the extremist group Al Shabaab.Brigadier General Audace Nduwumunsi, the AMISOM Deputy Force Commander, said the operation was necessary to deny the extremists a platform to target the people of Mogadishu.“The international community has mandated AMISOM to secure Somalia so its people have the opportunity to select a form of government that is best suited to them. By securing the strategically important Daynille airfield, we have made a big step towards making this a reality and helping create the necessary conditions for reconciliation and reconstruction,” he said.In February the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution enhancing the AMISOM mandate and expanding its authorized strength to 17,731.AMISOM has expanded its presence throughout the south and central regions of the country including Banadir, Baidoa, Lower Juba and Gedo.

Senior militant leaders defect to TFG side

Two alleged Al-Shabaab militant leaders surrendered to government troops in Lower Juba, officials say.

One of the alleged defectors, Mohamoud Hajji Korane gave himself up together with two of his guards and a battle-wagon to the Somali forces in Qoqani town.
The militant leader surrendered Thursday evening after negotiating with the relevant government authorities in the area, according to TFG officials.
Another militant leader only named Anas also surrendered early Friday morning.
TFG official, Col. Mohamed Abdullahi confirmed the defection of the two militant leaders to terror free somalia, saying that the two were in contact with the area government officials for a couple of days seeking amnesty before giving themselves up.
Abdullahi said they will hand over these defectors to the government’s command centre in Dobley to ascertain the geniuses of their defection.
He further said they received them warmly to encourage other defectors to follow suit.
TFG has on several occasions in the past displayed alleged militant defectors joining their ranks, attributing this mass defection for their continuous provision of amnesty to militant defectors.
