The siege of Baidoa was a military confrontation lasting from July 2008 to January 2009 during the Ethiopian occupation of Somalia, during which al-Shabaab laid siege to the headquarters of the Ethiopian backed Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG).
During January 2009, the first TFG collapsed and Al-Shabaab overran the seat of the government in Baidoa.[1]
