The Battle of Janale took place on September 1st 2015, when Al-Shabaab militants stormed an African Union military camp manned by Ugandan forces in the town of Janale, Lower Shabelle.
Battle
It began after an Al Shabaab suicide bomber rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into the perimeter of the base, which exploded at the front of the base. Al Shabaab later named the suicide bomber in a propaganda video as Abdullah Ahmed Omar, a former Somali soldier who defected to Al Shabaab in 2014.[3] Following that, a team of heavily armed fighters entered the breach and attacked the troops inside.[4] The attack was launched to commemorate one anniversary after the group's former leader Ahmed Abdi Godane's death, who was killed in a U.S. drone airstrike in the previous year.[5]
