Mogadishu, Somalia, December 26, 2009 (SL Times) – The African Union troops stationed in Mogadishu arrested some of Sheikh Sharif’s officers because they believed those officers had links with al-Shabaab. The African troops are in Mogadishu to protect Sheikh Sharif’s government from collapsing. But lately that job has gotten more and more difficult due to al-Shabaab’s penetration of Sheikh Sharif’s militias. The African Union troops had suspicions about some of the officers in Sheikh Sharif’s militia, but those suspicions were recently confirmed and that is why African Union troops had to move against Sheikh Sharif’s officers and arrest them.
