AW DHEEGLE, Somalia: The helicopter pilot is worried. Any more than 20 minutes in this shattered frontline village and Somalia’s Al-Shabab militants could start lobbing mortars at their position.Roughly 1,000 Somali National Army (SNA) forces are holding Awdheegle, a strategic town roughly 60 kilometers outside the capital Mogadishu, with the help of an African Union contingent after it was retaken less than seven weeks ago from the Al-Qaeda-linked militants.
