Until the end of the month of May 2012, AMISOM forces were battling remnants of Al-shabaab fighters in Afgooye - a town located 30 kilometers away from the capital of Mogadishu in Somalia.
AMISOM launched the operation named free shabelle on 22 May - commanders saying they were careful not to destroy property, harm or injure locals.
The Shabelle region is home to Afgooye town whose population is the region of 400000 people - most of whom are refugees.
On 25th May AMISOM forces crossed Shabelle river and entered Afgooye after a four day non-stop battle in a sand filled jungle of more than 20 kilometers.
NTV reporter Frank Walusimbi followed the AMISOM forces on this tough operation that has had more than 60 Al-shabaab fighters killed.
