Somalia

Hizbul Islam retook control of the town of Luq while Shabaab took control of Bulo Hawo on the Kenyan border just one day after Ahlu Sunna Waljama™a said it was in control. The government said it took control of Bulobarde, but residents claim Shabaab is in control and chased forces all the way to Beledweyne; 20 people were killed in the fighting.
