They didn't take over the town, they attacked an SNA base near it.
Gemstate they took bacadwayn and the ones who fled are GM. They r in control of Bacadwayn which and southern hobyo, near the harardheere border. This will be the launching pad to go deep into the 'left or right' flank of hobyo 'center' as they not stupid to go str8 for the center with two 'flanks' of HG open on the western-eastern side of Hobyo.
I know strategem of war, remember I am son of an 'aristocrat'. They are pushing deep into eastern hobyo or western hobyo to ensure no GM re-inforcements before they go for the last assault on hobyo capital and close the sea link which is the main objective and if they get 'dhuso' GM has no road or sea supply route. Notice bacadwayn has landing facility, they will target those first as part of the strategem of 'closing of GM' supply lines be it air-sea-land thru strikes on dhuso-bacadwayn who have air-road lifelines, and they will finally push into the western or eastern flank of hobyo to ensure the 'center' of hobyo is split on two-war front before encircling them with two way war from western/eastern hobyo and capturing the center.
Then it's final assault on the coastal hobyo capital to bring in hobyo as 'fallen' GM district to Shabab which adds their control to 4 out 7 districts. They fear 'abudwak, cadaado' who have heavy weapons is my assertion which sacad/cayr don't.
