Which of the following statements about the trip of U. N. Secretary General is CORRECT?

(29)U. N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon met with Somali leaders Friday on an unannounced visit to the Horn of Africa, the nation’s government said. Ban huddled with President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed and Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, who greeted him at Mogadishu’s airport. It was unclear how long the U. N. chief planned to stay in Somalia. Federal and African Union forces have battled Al-Shabaab, an Islamic militant group, in the impoverished and chaotic nation for years. Many analysts believe the military push has severely affected Al-Shabaab, along with targeted strikes against organization members and the weakening of al Qaeda. (30) Al-Shabaab said in August it was withdrawing from Mogadishu, and Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government,hacked by African Union peacekeepers, now controls most districts of the capital, the U. N. office has said.
