Somalia

Eight people were killed after Shabaab forces attacked Somali and Kenyan army bases in Badhadhe. Shabaab called the telecom firm Hoormud “an oppressive tool of the Jews and US” for helping Kenyan forces track down Shabaab members. Prime Minister Ali said Shabaab will be driven “out of their last stronghold” by the end of August.
