Kenya advances towards Somali city of Kismayo

[GoldCoast]

You've already conceded that they won't fight a conventional war. So how exactly will they erase them? Its also worth noting that the Kenyans( if they are to be believed) will not occupy Kismayo once they capture it. Who will they hand over power too and how do you assume they will hold off AlShabaab once the Kenyans are gone? As it has already been noted we went through this process with Ethiopia.

 

The key difference between Mogadishu and Kismayo is AMISOM I dont know how you can leave that factor out. They have the presence to hold any gains made, and they are the bulk of the fighting power.

Please with the secessionist opinion. Without a doubt the Hargeysa enclave are the ones that are most worried about Al Shabaab's defeat. Because they use to say that the TFG only controlled a few streets. However the Hargeysa admin has lost that argument because now the whole city is in it's control. The secessionists are most worried because the TFG is given more and more land each day which leads to more international legitimacy. We have seen this by the Turkish PM visit!

 

Yunis,

 

If Al Shabaab can't get Mogadishu back and it is the most important city and biggest city. What makes you think they can possibly hold and get back Kismaayo?

Al-Shabaab's second largest clans are the ones that fight over Kismayo, so it won't be hard for them to turn coats again.

Funny when it's the people of Puntland that works with Ethiopia it's treasonous and weak but when it's the people of the south it's great, couragous and bold.

 

But what can I say, people don't hate weak people, they seem to hate the most powerful. It's pathetic.

Thankful, a Puntlander, and The Zack, a believer of Prof. Gandi's Academic paper titled 'Azania The State', are resolute in their believe that this Kenyan invasion will usher a new, positive are in Kismayo region.

 

We shall leave time to prove them wrong

Thankful, why do you keep repeating that TFG controls Mogadishu and this TFG will control Kismayo. The TFG does not control Mogadishu unless you use TFG/AU interchangeably. Let the AU forces leave and go back to their country and then w'll see who controls Xamar.
