The somali president has stated last night that al shabaab will be totally removed within a months!
I was feeling bad these days about not letting the second djiboutian contingent to get deployed in buloburde in southren hiiraan in favor of the ethiopians who have landed a week ago in the outskirts of baladweyne but maybe the govt thinks that its better for them ethiopia though this is not according to the hiiraan interests
This military strategy looks like the invasion of normandy; ethiopia plays here the uks role by entering baraawe from bakool, ceelbuur from dhuuso mareeb, buloburde from baladweyne and baardheere from gedo. These are the main al shabaab bases in south somalia and its expected that al shabaab leaders to be killed in this war or to see their exodus into other far regions as this time there is no save place and the westren allies are bombing them in every where.
To this day, there is a historical detest between the de gaullist french politicians and their anglo-saxson rivals
General de gaulle was a great french hero, unlike of churchill who won the war too, he got re-elected again and that is one of the differences between the english people who don't believe in a hero figure and the french people who worship their politicians. The same has happened to tony blair after his war in iraq, he lost the power because of it!-i know it was the party who removed him to save their popularity-
General de gaulle has saved france from what happened to germany and japan on the hands of the allied military administration, he didn't let the allies to recapture paris, instead he encouraged and supported the parisian resistance to liberate itself until the surrender of the nazi army
After the nazis surrender, the general enters paris with his own french army, gives a long emotional speech.
De gaulle tells his britain and US allies to get out quickly from the french lands and concentrate on staline and the eastren front!!
The question is can hassan sheekh say the same to the ethiopians? I guess its a matter of time!
Having bombed and secured the ports, the nazi army was expecting the attack to come from the eastren front and russia but the british have made some secret ports at normandie like caen and the allied forces were able to land from there.

What about the norman conquest of england/the somali conquest of abyssinia?
This piece is from my thread the norman somalis aka late somalis
"King philip of france was the most smart king in history, to avoid more viking raids in his land, he let them have normandy in the north in return to stay as a dutchy under his crown possession
With generations, they switched to speaking french and kept serving the king as vassals until their conquest of england when they claimed the england throne
Here history changes just like abraha did when he claimed the crown of yemen wich was founded by the queen of sheba separating himself from abyssinia and its al najashi
In france, they consider the normans a french heritage but in the UK they don't maybe they don't want to give their historical rivals the credit of colonizing them...however, the norman conquest of england was a french cultural occupation and to this day the english courts have a french law let alone the english language itself wich is almost a mix of germanic and french
dispraging of english comes from the normans because back then the french was the official language of england!! It was also the language of their aristocratic families and speaking english was a kinda of culture populaire!!
This makes french aristocratique and english populaire, therefore, it was a french cultural occupation!!!
This is why naboleon bonoparte has called the english "une nation de boutiquires"!
We are in 2000s and somalis are unable to unite so my guess is that the middle ages imams of somalia were a somalized stock and not the nomadic somalis of today
What shows their similarity to the normans is the accord between the imams and the clans that were around them except that the imams have become the kings since the native clans had no kingdoms but still there were a big respect between them to the point of brotherhood."
