Operations have picked up in Hirshabelle , these offensives are planned months in advance.
Most of it is around Jowhar and Bulobarde region.
I have a feeling the game plan is to clear the way to connect Xamar to Jowhar to Buloburde and finally to Beledweyne. It will isolate Alshabab completely to SWS and Jubaland.
However its multi faceted, operations are currently underway in all states.
There are no operations in All states. JL has their own set of operations since the N&N regime politicized the war on terrorism. The only operations mentioned are those in middle Shabelle. Daynunay few kms from Baydhabo was a former Military base for some clan militants stationed there before it was captured by As.
