disregard the control zones listed as al shabab territory, they don't seek outright control over a territory if they are challenged, they prefer to be mobile. I'll tell you what will happen if both forces reach Buaale, they will simply retreat into outskirts. i remember al shabab captured buurdhuubo in the middle of this year and that's in the heart of gedo, but as soon as ethiopian troops came, they retreated and vacated the area without fighting them.
in reality whoever captures Buaale will only gain a small moral victory, I'm telling you al shabab will evacuate from Buaale when raaskaamboni brigade aka juguta culus rolls into town, they don't want to fight them head on
