    The Rahanwein Resistance Army (RRA) has captured the town of Bur Acaba, 95 miles north west of Mogadishu, in what appeared to be a drive southeast from Baidoa to Qoroley where rebels of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) have set up base, AP news agency reported on Monday. The agency quoted RRA spokesman, Ali Aden Qalinleh, as saying that its next mission would be “the liberation of Digil and Mirifle territories” lying between the Juba and Shabelle rivers. The area includes Qoroley and the port of Merka.
