#Somalia govt forces last week captured #ElBur, last district center in central #Galmudug region controlled by #AlShabaab, though they later retreated from other key towns in the area.

Though Somalia govt victories in Galmudug region are a big deal, Al Shabaab's core stronghold area in the south remains largely untouched.

A useful thing for analysis of #Twitter activity was that each tweet has the time in was created embedded in the ID - and #Unfurl can extract it!

Like tweets, #Mastodon IDs also have embedded timestamps in them, and Unfurl can parse them:

🔗 https://dfir.blog/unfurl/?url=https://infosec.exchange/@RyanDFIR/110968271932496136

This means that as long as you have the URL of the tweet/toot, you can determine when it was posted - even if it has been deleted or made private!
