| 2012-05-18 |
| (Sh.M.Network)- Bitter fighting between the Islamist fighters of Al shabab aligned with Al Qaeda and TFG troops alongside with Ahlu Sunna militias broke out in the Somalia's southwestern region of Gedo overnight, killing two civilians, witnesses told Shabelle Media on Thursday. Witnesses said that the fighting started in and around Garbaharey town, the thriving provincial capital of Gedo region, southwesternSomalia, causing damages of wells used by locals. Sheik Mohammed Hussein, the front man of Ahlu Sunna told Shabelle Media via phone that the forces of Evil have completely destroyed several wells inside the town following their attack against Garbaharey. "We repulsed the attacking forces of Evil soon after were informed that Al shabab fighters are planning the assault the town. During the combat Al shabab committed unfortunate acts against wells that locals have been fetching water to drink for their children and livestock," he added. The locals in the areas reported that the two sides exchanged heavy weapon as the fighting continued and the few residents in the area had expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... over the continuous festivities there that often causes civilian casualties of deaths and injuries in the region. |
