December 5, 2012: Kenyan and Somali troops continue fighting al Shabaab groups that have fled to the southwest. There, the terrorists hold the village of Burdhubo, which troops are trying to surround so that they can kill or capture most of the al Shabaab men there. The heavy forests in the region make this difficult. Al Shabaab remnants continue to skirmish with peacekeepers (from Kenya, Ethiopia and several other African nations), Somali government troops and pro-government militias. Most of the fighting is in the southwest, southern Puntland and around Mogadishu, Baidoa and Kismayo. There are small groups of al Shabaan men throughout southern Somalia. Al Shabaab is nowhere near making a comeback, but they are not disappearing either. The Islamic terrorists seem prepared to become bandits, live off the land and keep at their version of holy war indefinitely.
