Ahmed Abdi Godane is thought to be on the run after having narrowly escaped death twice in the past month. AMISOM and Somali troops killed seven Shabaab militants in a surprise attack on the town of Hagar in Jubba. The Deputy Governor of Lower Shabelle was injured in one of two bomb attacks in Mogadishu that appeared to target Somali government officials. Less than a year after it abandoned a similar operation, Germany is preparing to return troops to Somalia as part of an EU training mission.
