2023-09-13


Over 100 al-Shabaab
...... the personification of Somali state failure...
turbans were killed in the last 48 hours, the Somali government has said as military operations in central regions intensified.

Information Deputy Minister Abdirahman Yusuf Al Adala told the media from the frontlines in Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
that 120 turbans were killed in 17 separate operations in the last two days.

The minister noted that local communities and business people were providing support to the military in areas they are operating from.

The minister’s remarks follow the capture of Garas area in Galgadud region on Monday by Somali National Army.
