(SOUNDBITE) (Somali) SNA DEPUTY CHIEF OF DEFENSE FORCES, GENERAL ABDIRIZAQ ELMI, SAYING: "I would like to send a message to the people who are still in Al Shabaab: The time of Shabaab is over. We call on the Somali youth trapped in Al Shabaab to go back to their communities and take the amnesty offered by the Somali president and the people." A number of Al Shabaab insurgents were killed during the operation, the African Union says. It's part of an offensive to liberate parts of Somalia still reportedly under the control of Al Shabaab.
