Key town recaptured from Somalia’s al-Shabab

Somalia’s government has retaken control of the town of Baidoa from the anti-government group al-Shabab.

The fighters controlled the town for two years, and it was the second largest one under al-Shabab’s control.

Ethiopian and Somali troops captured the town in a joint operation on Wednesday.

Government forces have increased their pressure on the group after it gave up control of the country’s capital, Mogadishu, in August.
