Thousands of people were forced to watch as Shabaab masked men amputated a foot and a hand from each of two youths alleged to have robbed a car in Kismayo. Daud Mohamed Garane, the Chairman of Shabaab in Gedo region, warned Kenya to stop sending recruits to Somalia. “We can raid big Kenyan towns such as Nairobi and Mombasa,” Garane said before a huge crowd. One soldier was killed after Hizbul Islam attacked a checkpoint in Mataban district, near Beledweyne.
