Somali and African Union forces have taken over the town of Tiyeglow from Shabaab militants, who withdrew into nearby forests on Aug. 25, giving the government control of the Bakool region. AMISOM has announced a “second phase” of the campaign against Shabaab, which will focus on militant bases in central and southern Somalia.
