Ugandan field commanders serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) prepare with their battle group to cross bushland west of Deynile towards the Afgoye Corridor 23 May 2012, in an area north-west of the Somali capital Mogadishu. AMISOM and Somali National Army (SNA) forces continued for a second day to push out to the west of Mogadishu in a major offensive called 'Operation Free Shabelle' to liberate Afgoye Town and the 400,000 internally displaced people living there, from the control of the Al Qaeda-affiliated extremist group Al Shabaab.
