The Burundians, together with forces of the Somali National Army (SNA) have been mounting 'snap' foot patrols in villages and areas to the east of Baidoa where Al Qaeda-affiliated extremist group Al Shabaab mount attacks against local herdsmen, villages and travelers along the busy Baidoa-Mogadishu road. The AMISOM troops also use the patrols as an opportunity to provide occasional free medical treatment and drinking water for residents in the area. AU/UN IST PHOTO / ABDI DAKAN.
