This a port city, expect Alshabab to start importing equipment ASAP before they lose it again. Alshabab is able to take territory, but they have lost the legitimacy they had back in 2010-2012. No one in Lower Shabelle has any doubts of what they are and stand for.
Biimaal are not idiots, they know not to side with Alshabab. Siding with them will just give excuse to the crimes commited against them by FGS (Hawiye) and Amisom.
It is possible though that they have joined forces, in which case they are a legitimate target and should be eliminated.
