Encore et toujours des combats en Somalie, au nom de Dieu et du pouvoir. Les islamistes controlant le sud du pays commencent à faire appliquer la charia. Ils imposent aux hommes de porter la barbe, et aux femmes de se voiler, et la lapidation fait son grand retour...

Ugandan tanks serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia


SOMALIA, Afgoye: In a photograph released by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team 24 May, Ugandan tanks serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) move out to take up defensive positions in the early evening on the outskirts of the town of Afgoye, located to the west of the country's capital Mogadishu. A joint AMISOM and Somali National Army (SNA) advance called 'Operation Free Shabelle' faced no resistance on its 3rd day as forces advanced a further 6km closer to the town of Afgoye, home to approx. 400,000 internally displaced people. AMISOM and the SNA, having strategically planned the operation to avoid areas of civilian populations, now sit 2km outside the town having steadily moved through and capturing swathes of territory over the last 3 days previously under the control of the Al-Qaeda-affiliated extremist group Al Shabaab.
