SCRIPT
AMISOM Deputy Force Commander Maj. Gen. Mohammedesha
Zeyinu has completed a visit to the newly liberated towns of
Baardhere and Diinsor, where he interacted with the troops and
challenged them to continue striving for lasting peace in the region
and Somalia in general.
The two towns were until July this year safe havens for the Al
Shabaab, used as centers for training and recruitment as well as
launching attacking on civilians in the Bay, Bakool and Gedo
regions.
Maj. Gen. Mohammedesha Zeyinu sought to interact with and
motivate the troops as well as gain better understanding of the
pertaining issues in the sector.
Addressing the troops in the agricultural town of Bardheere, he
commended them for the outstanding work that saw the terrorists
flashed out of the area, ending years of civilian torture.
"The operation you conducted to capture Bardheere was a shining
victory for AMISOM forces. The Somali people and all partners know
the great job you have done to make this happen in this mission.
Therefore, I want to thank you very much," he said.

Speaking in Diinsor, he appealed to AMISOM troops working

together with their Somali counterparts to keep up the momentum
until the entire Somalia is secured from Al Shabaab.
"The purpose of our mission in Somalia is to defeat and eradicate Al
Shabaab, to restore peace and stability in this country, the continent
and region, because this enemy is the enemy of the Somali people
and East Africa in general. If we do not eliminate this enemy and
restore peace and stability, the consequences are clear, the fate of
the Somali people is clear. There will be no peace, no stability and
no development and the situation will be worse," cautioned Gen.
Mohammedesha.
AMISOM troops together with the local administration are currently
conducting awareness campaigns on the operations in the region
and role of the population in ensuring peace. They are also
appealing for information from the residents, to enable them flash
out any remnants of the terrorists from the towns.
The troops have also mobilized former local militia men and women,
who will support efforts to maintain peace in the towns upon
completion of training.
