“The defeat of the Al-Shabaab terror group draws nearer,” President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has said.
He added that the government is about to defeat the terrorists primarily because of the ongoing counterterrorism offensives in the country.
President Mohamud’s administration is carrying out the offensives in conjunction with other partners.
The partners include the United States military.
The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) has also worked closely with the Somali government to defeat the terrorists.
In the last few months, Somali National Army (SNA) has continuously liberated several regions from Al-Shabaab terrorists.
President Mohamud added that Al-Shabaab’s total defeat draws ever close.
