This is good news, but no reason for the African and Somali forces on the ground to let up.

Godane sounds real similar to Kidane, I wonder if that -dane part is some link to a more ancient Cushytic language that was more common to the Horn in early antiquity. :hmmjb:

Well, Godane is a native Somali name so probably

Article is missing facts... Godane was part of the Issaq clan. They're in Somaliland (the region that wants to secede)...

Also, Since it's inception al-Shabab has had just 2 emirs - Ismail Arale and Ahmed Abdi Godane. Aden Hashi Ayrow was never the leader

The new guy, Ahmad Umar Abu Ubaidah aka Ahmed Diriye, was born in the Somali region of Ethopia (Eastern Ethiopia aka Ogaden aka 'Western Somalia'). He's lived in Kismaayo which was the Al-Shabaab stronghold and one of the largest cities in Somalia..

This is the map right now btw... the date is wrong as it should read September
