Njuri Baidoa was not well defended - those Al Shahbab are all either in Kismayu or surrounding areas or making there way there. Our boys and girls are not stuck in afmadow.

Soon Americans will push us to join AMISOM - give us substantial money and arms to BUY US & Western made weapons - also known as conditional military aid (only if we join) and then use Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya to conduct their war on terror. We are going to be the US's proxy in East Africa with Ethiopia and Uganda.

Something in my bones makes me very uncomfortable if we join AMISOM.

I hv been following that story on BBC for last 8 hrs. Everybody was fleeing town.

you mean the ethiopians are not tweeting at war??? how unprofessional are they. lol.

Silly guys. Forget to tell Al Shabaab where they are to be found.

@kvebay that's a weak excuse, I mean surely after for month capturing a town the size of bondo is a problem? Worst of all is that the al shabab are keen to fight kenya but flee when faced with ethiopians,! That is the fact

Have you all thought that this has something to do with meeting in London on Somalia? Twende pole pole first

If I had my way I would have the entire senior officers in kdf charged with treason and incompetence

If I had my way, that war would be over by now. I am VERY angry. Something that could have taken days is now draging Kenya to yrs. I hope the TOAD die like Michuki, naturally if he goes to London meeting. I am so tired of "Commanders" who knows nothing about that area.

Look you can think of the KDF what you want - It doesn't matter to me either way. Kismayu is of major strategic importance to Al Shabab. This town controls revenue. In commercial terms if you want to import a new car to Mogadishu you pay let's say 100% duty. If you car arrives in Al shabab controlled Kismayu you pay only 25% duty. You have your car either driven or transported to Mogadishu (which is a relatively negligible cost) and you have saved a shitload of money. Read the same for all types of commercial goods imported. This is a MAJOR source of revenue for Al Shabab. It is a well defended DEEP Harbour. The revenue from Kismayu provides significant, no SUBSTANTIAL funding for Al Shabab. For this reason Kismayu is protected heavily - Kismayu falls, funding for Al Shabab falls - ergo Al Shabab starts to fall apart.

The US and Ethiopia in the past have TRIED to capture Kismayu - but haven't succeeded.

What does Baidoa have in terms of relative strategic importance compared to Kismayu? Not much.

how dare the ethiopians go in without twitting their intentions first. how dare they are not tweeting where they are. real war should be fought for months, not days, how dare them do that!!!!! how dare could they not capture a donkey.

This is anticlimax.lol wars are to be fought for months an not days.however taking baidoa is the easy part.holding it and mantaining the peace should be what the ethiopians have to worry about.

The Ethiopians are just lucky in not having to deal with the donkeys and mud that our heroic boys have had to contend with. KDF will soon be in Kismayu. Any day now.

The difference between the Ethiopian army and the Kenyan army is that Ethiopia is ruled by a strong men who cares little for well being of his soldiers. He is not accountable to anyone so he can make decisions with a fly, destroy thousands of his soldiers and no one will question his judgements. The same cannot be said of the KDF in which soldiers are treated well, and their lifes are not political chip with which to bargain with.

Ethiopia will be attending the London conference, and this capture is to give weight to their words when they offer them to the British. How this new development will change on the ground is not certain, but one is thing is clear--is that the Alshabaab in terms of force are largely intact. They have simply vacated the town and are waiting to see what the Ethiopians will do next.

The Nato alliance concluded after a decade that the Taliban could not be defeated militarily, Somalia is just now entering year one of the path that was pursued in Afghanistan. The mercenary forces which the powers that be are paying to Fight al shabaab will only go so far as needed to pocket money, the al shabaab themselves will simply move from village to village to avoid total annihilation, and the quagmire in Somalia is doomed to continue for another decades.
