Somalia: Somali forces and AMISOM liberate Tiyeeglow town in Bakool region from al-Shabaab terrorists
Somalia forces supported by African Union peacekeepers have liberated the strategic town of Tiyeeglow in Bakool region from Al-Shabaab terrorists in the latest attack dubbed Operation Indian Ocean which is aimed at liberating more towns from the militants to ease suffering of the population and increase Somalia government control in the country.
Tiyeeglow is approximately 530 km north east of the capital Mogadishu and lies along the main road from Baidoa to Beletweyne and further to the central regions in Somalia connecting the south to the north of the country. Al-Shabaab used to heavily charge money from vehicles plying the route as part of their illegal extortion racket in Somalia.
The latest victory now means the Somalia government now fully controls Bakool region after the ouster of the terrorist group Al-Shabaab from all major towns in Bakool region to deny them room and finances to continue funding their atrocities against innocent civilians.
