Battle of Kismayo (2008)
The Battle of Kismayo began on August 20, 2008 when Islamist al-Shabaab and Islamic Courts Union (ICU) fighters began an offensive to conquer the Southern Somali port of Kismayo from pro-government militias. Three days of fighting reportedly killed 89 people and injured 207 more. Al-Shabaab took the town on August 22.〔〔("Scores killed in Somalia fighting" ), Al Jazeera, August 23, 2008.〕
==Background==
Al-Shabab, fighting as part of the Islamic Courts Union, was driven out of Kismayo in January 2007 after Ethiopian forces rolled into Somalia to back the interim government in the fight to take control of much of central and southern Somalia.〔 According to Interim Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf, Kismayo was subsequently not under the Ethiopian-backed transitional government's control, and there were no Ethiopian forces in the area at the time of the battle; clan militias in Kismayo claimed to be part of the government, however.〔("Death toll hits 20 as al Shabaab capture Kismayo" ), Garowe Online, August 21, 2008.〕 In the months prior to the battle, Kismayo was considered peaceful in comparison to Mogadishu, the capital.〔Sahra Abdi Ahmed, ("Toll in southern Somalia fighting hits 55" ), Reuters (''International Herald Tribune''), August 22, 2008.〕
