The takeover coincided two days after the Somali president Hassan Sheikh visited Aden Yabaal district, where he announced the second phase of the operation to liberate Somalia.
In Mid January 2022, the SNA in collaboration with locals and US military captured Harardhere as well as the nearby town of Galcad in Galmudug region, marking the biggest blow to al-Shabaab since the war started.
Harardhere was a major base for pirates hijacking fat merchantmen until 2011 and its fall was welcomed as a significant step towards the end of al-Shabaab presence in Galmudug.
