Somali forces control key port

The BBC’s Emmanuel Igunza says Barawe was strategically important for al-Shabab as a route to get their supplies
Somali government and African Union (AU) forces have taken full control of the last port city held by militant Islamists, officials say.
Heavy gunfire could be heard as the AU and Somali forces entered Barawe, 220km (135 miles) south-west of the capital Mogadishu, on Monday, residents said.
The al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group surrendered the town without much resistance.
The AU says al-Shabab used Barawe as a base to launch attacks on the capital.
Somalia’s central government last controlled Barawe 23 years ago.
Tanks and armoured vehicles patrolled the town as a military commander addressed hundreds of residents, calling on them to support the government.
AU troops are helping the weak Somali government to fight al-Shabab
“Al-Shabab are no longer in Barawe,” said the commander, Abdirisak Khalif Elmi, AFP news agency reports.
Residents said many of the al-Qaeda-aligned militants began withdrawing from the port town on Friday.
Al-Shabab has lost control of several towns in the past month, but still controls large swathes of territory in rural areas.
The BBC’s Emmanuel Igunza says the fall of Barawe is a significant blow to al-Shabab because they had used the town as a supply route for weapons and food and as a base for a lucrative charcoal business.
The loss of Barawe – after six years under their control – comes a month after al-Shabab’s leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane, was killed by a US air strike near the town. US strikes have also targeted other senior militants in and around Barawe.
The group, which is estimated to have at least 5,000 fighters, wants to overthrow the UN-backed Somali government and has imposed a strict version of Sharia in areas under its control.
Last week, a woman was stoned to death in Barawe for alleged adultery.
Correspondents say al-Shabab tends to tactically withdraw from areas when faced with a large offensive, but leaves some fighters within the civilian population to launch attacks later.

The BBC’s Emmanuel Igunza says Barawe was strategically important for al-Shabab as a route to get their supplies
Somali government troops backed by African Union (AU) forces have taken the last coastal stronghold of the al-Shabab Islamist group.
But the AU told the BBC the joint forces were not yet in full control of the town, and the AU had parked its heavy armour on its outskirts.
Barawe, 220km (135 miles) south-west of the capital Mogadishu, has not been run by the central government for 23 years.
The AU says al-Shabab used Barawe as a base to launch attacks on the capital.
Residents said many of the al-Qaeda-aligned militants had begun withdrawing from the key port town on Friday.
“The situation is calm, the militiamen had fled before the forces reached the town,” regional governor Abdukadir Mohamed Nur said.

The first of the Arabs who came here were called Emozadi, which signifies subjects of Zayde, who built two inconsiderable towers, merely sufficient to defend them against the barbarous Kafrs. Afterwards still greater numbers came from the ports about the city of Lazah, forty leagues from the island of Baharem [most likely modern day Bahrain] in the Persian gulf, who settled first Magadoxa [Mogadishu] and afterwards Brava [Barawe]. The first Arabs separated from these new comers, and mixing with the Kafrs became Bedouins, or Badwis, signifying people of the desert. Those Arabs who first possessed themselves of the gold trade of Sofala were from Magadoxa, and discovered the gold mines by accident. From thence they spread themselves farther towards the south, but durst never venture to navigate beyond Cape Corrientes, which is opposite to the south-wester-most part of the Island of St Lawrence or Madagascar. Along this coast the Arabs had possessed themselves of Quiloa, Mombaza, Melinda, and the islands, of Pemba, Zanzibar, Monfia, Comoro, and others; Quiloa being the principal of their settlements, from whence many others had been formed, particularly on the coast of Madagascar. Quiloa had been originally a peninsula, but by the encroachments of the sea it had become an island. The soil produces many palms and thorn trees, and various herbs and plants; and the wild beasts, cattle, and birds resemble those of Spain. The buildings in the places possessed by the Arabs resemble those in Spain, having flat roofs, with gardens and orchards behind.
