AU Troops Take Jowhar From Al Shabaab

African Union forces once again pushed Al Shabaab further back, in the fight for Somalia.

They took the town of Jowhar from the terrorist group, which is Al Qaeda's wing in Somalia.

It was the biggest town remaining under Al Shabaab's Shariah law rule.

Al Shabaab is increasingly pushed into the country side, and out of towns, by the African Union's forces.

The group pledges to fight on, to establish an Islamist state, in the area.

Since the AU began pushing against them, they have picked up terrorist acts in neighboring countries, especially in Kenya, where suicide bombings have become a weekly occurrence.
