Pastorals and Shaboobs battle on Buloburde outskirts

News reports from Buloburde district in Hiran region indicate that that a fierce confrontation erupted today between pastoralists and Al-Shabaab insurgents on the outskirts of the town.

Beware the heavily-armed shepherd...

'Twas ever so. One lad and his sheep against the predators of the wild... why a boy could learn to slay a Goliath that way.

The territory known as Jameeco Mubaarak is approximately 30km east of Buloburde and it was invaded by Islamist militants of the Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Shabaab. The fighters demanded scores of money from pastorals in the town and then attacked them when they refused to pay the money.

Witnesses described to Shabelle that in the battle, two were killed from the fighters and pastorals.
