Shabaab fighters attacked an Ethiopian army base in central Somalia early Thursday in the latest raid targeting foreign soldiers deployed as part of an African Union force in the country, rebels and local residents said.

The Al-Qaeda linked militants attacked the base in Halgan in Hiran region, the group said in a statement distributed on its Telegram messaging channel.

It claimed that fighters had killed "at least 43" Ethiopian soldiers, but this could not be verified independently.

Residents in the area close to Halgan said the attack began when a vehicle driven by a suicide bomber exploded, after which jihadist gunmen fought their way into the base.

"There was a huge blast and then heavy exchange of gunfire started," said Osman Adan, a nearby resident.

CASUALTY NUMBERS

Shabaab launched this style of "swarming" attack a year ago and have since overrun forward operating bases manned by Burundian troops in Lego in June, Ugandan troops in Janale in September and Kenyan troops in El Adde in January.

The contributing countries refuse to confirm casualty numbers but it is believed that scores of soldiers from the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) have been killed in each attack.

This is the first such attack on an Ethiopian outpost.

"Mujahideen fighters stormed the base and massacred many of the Ethiopians," the Shabaab statement said.

The Shabaab was forced out of the capital Mogadishu five years ago but continues to carry out regular attacks on military, government and civilian targets in its battle to overthrow the internationally-backed administration.

The group commonly steps up its attacks during Ramadhan, but this year is an especially critical one with Shabaab eager to disrupt an expected change of government leadership due in the coming months.

[Babu wa Kambo]

Wapiganaji wa kundi la al-Shabab nchini Somalia wanasema kuwa wamewaua wanajeshi 40 wa Ethiopia katika kambi ya Umoja wa Afrika katikati ya Somalia.

Wakaazi wa Halgan wameiambia BBC kwamba walisikia mlipuko mkubwa uliofuatiwa na ufyatulianaji wa risasi.

Umoja wa Afrika Amisom umethibitisha kuhusu shambulio hilo lakini unasema lilikabiliwa vilivyo.

Amisom inaunga mkono serikali ya Somalia huku ikitafuta kulidhibiti taifa hilo kutoka kwa mikono ya wapiganaji wa al-Shabab.

Katika misururu ya ujumbe wa Tweeter Amisom imesema kuwa wanajeshi wake wakisaidiwa na wale wa Somalia waliwafurusha washambuliaji hao ambao sasa wametoroka huku wakisakwa na wanajeshi wa Amisom.

Al Shabab wanataka nin hasa?

Wanataka kuifanya Somalia iwe kama SAUDI ARABIA TOTAL SHARIA LAW ON ALL PEOPLE IN SOMALIA...

 

[MOTOCHINI]

Habari hii bado haijaeleweka
Kila upande unazungumzia mafanikio

Kwahiyo uislamu ndo unasema hata wasiotaka sharia wafuate? Tena kwa mkono wa chuma?

 

[Hoshea]

Na wasomali majority wanataka nini, sababu naona Saudia wanapenda utawala na desturi yao, wasomali kwanini isiwe hivyo. Shabaabs wanapata nguvu inaonyesha, hii ina maana wanaungwa mkono na wasomali, ama inakuwa ni vipi.

Kwahiyo uislamu ndo unasema kuwalazimisha hata wasiotaka sharia wafuate?

Yes.... Kila mtu

Juu already they have their own president, Courts, prisons, they collect their own taxes, they punish people the sharia way-stoning, decapitation, hanging....... They say they want to establish an African total Islamic Republic... And want recognition - they are fighting for their own right : Kind of like colonisation.......


The difference between Saudi Arabia ISIS and ALSHABAAB is only that SAUDI ARABIA fought its wars ages ago 1957 and won and established its own caliphate..... At the time the world wasn't as connected.... Isis ikishinda vita ya Syria na IRAQ ipe 50yrs itakuwa exactly like Saudi Arabia

Al Shabab wanataka nin hasa?

Wanataka dunia nzima wabaki peke yao, watu wa aina moja wasiokuwa na uwezo wakufikiri ili hatimaye waanze kuchinjana wao kwa wao kwa ubabe bila sheria, kanuni wala mamlaka yoyote ya kuingilia ili kutetea wanaoonewa. Wanataka dunia ibaki na hayawani tu, pasiwe binadamu. Hakuna zaidi!

Kuna kitabu nilisoma kinaelezea chanzo kikuu cha vita zinazoendelea mashariki ya kati. Wanasema ni ule usunni na ushia ndo unasababisha yote haya.

Ila hawa jamaa wakizidi watapigwa nuke wapotee tuanze upya.
