Send us helicopters to beat al-Shabaab, Somalia tells West | The Times

Send us helicopters to beat al-Shabaab, Somalia tells West | The Times

Somalia is drawing up plans to retake the seaside town of Baraawe, where US Navy Seals mounted a failed operation to capture a suspected terrorist leader last week.

Abdi Farah Shirdon, the Prime Minister, said his Government was determined to “pacify and control the port”, which is currently run by al-Shabaab, the Somali militant group that claimed responsibility for the siege last month at a Nairobi shopping mall.

Mr. Shirdon claimed that Al-Shabaab were on “their last legs” and could no longer fight “in a conventional sense”.
