African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) Contingent Commander for Uganda, Brigadier Paul Lokech (centre) briefs members of 09 Battalion before an advance on the town of Afgoye to the west of the Somali capital Mogadishu, in this handout photo released on May 25, 2012. At least five people were killed when a shell hit the minibus they were using to flee fighting in a town north west of the capital, as African Union and government soldiers intensify their fight against al Shabaab militants. Earlier this week, African Union and Somali government troops stepped up their attacks on al Shabaab militants in Mogadishu’s northern outskirts, forcing hundreds of families to flee their makeshift homes and head for the city centre.
