Jubbaland forces stand with their ammunitions as they prepare for a security patrol against Islamist al Shabaab militants in Bulagaduud town, north of Kismayu, Somalia, August 17, 2015. Ahmed Madobe, a former Islamist warlord won re-election on Saturday as president of Somalia's southern region of Jubbaland, a territory partly controlled by al Shabaab militants and at odds with the central government of the Horn of Africa country. The fate of Kismayu and Jubbaland is seen as a test of the central government's skill in building a federal system and pacifying a nation fought over for more than two decades by warlords and Islamist rebels.
