IJA leader Ahmed Mohamed Islam alias Ahmed Madoobe speaking to the local media outlets stated that Juba forces and African union peace-keeping troops are now ready to advance and capture Al-shabab controlled areas in the region.

“Early next year (2016) the joint forces will be able to uproot Al-Shabab from the region” Ahmed Madobe said.
