2022 Update edit
Al-Shabaab lost much territory in the recent months and is about to lose more. Here almost all is said and also in near future more news are about to come.

Local militas are also helping government forces and are liberating over 40 villages and some of them were under al-Shabaab control for a decade.[1] [2] [3] [4] Gehirnstein (talk) 08:44, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- I'm probably going to be expanding this article to reflect the offensive Presidentofyes12 (talk) 15:02, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Updating the out-of-date map edit
According to Critical Threats, Al Shabaab has a very differing area of operations from the Wikipedia map. The map needs to be updated, where did the creator(s) even get the borders? [5] IdioticAnarchist (talk) 15:49, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
What happened to the good map? edit
Why was the map showing actual Somali control removed? It actually showed Las Anod under Somali control, which it is. IdioticAnarchist (talk) 14:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- And now the map shows explosive expansion of Al-Shabaab control. I wonder if it is the actual development on the ground or it simply means that the previous maps severely understated jihadists' area control. Gorgedweller (talk) 08:55, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
People keep changing the map to an unsourcred one where Al-Shabaab controls all of the south. edit
There are egregious claims that Al-Shabaab is still in places like Diinsoor which they were expelled by Amisom 9 years ago and current disputes are handled by the South-West State of Somalia, so the area connecting Diinsoor and Baidoa should be marked red.
The road between between Baidoa and Mogadishu, notabally including towns like Buur Hakaba, should be marked as red, albeit with Al-Shabaab presence in rural areas
Along the Somali-Kenyan border, the area arounf Geriley should be marked as under government allied control, and since the entire border region is under vague control it should be striped.
Beyond that, the Northern areas of Somalia. Namely Khatumo state should only be marked as controlling Talex, Laascaanood, and Buudhoodle. With the Northern and Western parts of the claimed territory under Puntland and Somaliland control respectivily. Emx0264 (talk) 18:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
