Barre on what happened:

1. Kenya came into the city in full war mode
2. They do not have houses, business, and people in Kismaayo
3. We decided to withdraw our forces to the northern outskirt of Kismaayo where they don't dare travel
4. We will change our strategy to force Kenya's withdrawal
5. On Al Shabaab who are in the area...Barre says "95% of Shabaab are our boys who share nation and land with us and while we disagree on politics and ideology, we now share a common strategy of defeating Kenya's occupation"
6. We will gather as much weapons, manfire, and reinforcements in this safe zone and we will exercize a battle to remove Kismaayo from Kenya's occupation unseen before very soon

I was pretty much spot on earlier in the evening about what I thought will happen next

I really dont know what to make of this there is no doubt that the man has the will and support of the vast majority of reer kismayo
behind him but he should also realize that militarily kenya cant be defeated and siding with Alshabab aint gonna bring forth much of a help
on the contrary it will paint him as an opportunist who sides with them the time he needs them the most.

but where the hell is the government what is there stance on this, or are they gonna sit back and let these two belligerents wear each other down
to the point of exhaustion than step in to take the initiative with the full packing of international community

This is not a clan war, as some one mention earlier post and Alshabaab wants a new strategy and now they've got and opportunity to participate in a national front against the enemy invaders.
