MOGADISHU (Mareeg)—Officials from the Somali fragile government say they will recapture Bay and Bakol regions from al Shabaab militants. 



Former Bay region governor under the transitional federal government of Somalia, Abdifatah Mohamed Gesey, said Monday they had enough soldiers to recapture Bay and Bakool regions in south western Somalia and were planning attacks against al Shabaab militants who control the regions.

 



Al shabaab militants seized Baidoa, former parliamentary seat, from government soldiers including those with the former governor, Abdifitah Gesey, early this year.

 



The government soldiers in parts of Bakool region fought with al Shabaab for several times. Al Shabaab militants often launch incursions to Yeed town in the region based by the government soldiers.

 



The government soldiers in Yeed town are accused of getting support from Ethiopian troops, but Mr. Gesey, former Baidoa governor denied the accusations and described as false reports and propaganda against the government soldiers in the regions.

 



The government officials who were ousted from Bay and Bakool regions by al Shabaab  have so many times threatened they would retake the regions from al Shabaab.
