The country has suffered ‘significant setbacks’ in its fight against militants.
An African Union force deployed to fight Al-Shabaab in 2007 remains on the ground in Somalia to this day.
“Around 20 wounded people were already taken to hospitals, and we believe the number of the casualties could rise,” he said. An African Union force was deployed in Somalia in 2007 with a six-month mandate but still remains on the ground, with the government now seeking to delay a planned reduction of foreign troops by three months.
Somali president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud took office in May last year vowing “all-out war” against Al-Shabaab, who were driven from Mogadishu in 2011 but control swathes of the countryside.
