Military liberates strategic town in Somalia from Al-Shabaab
|
[Garowe] The Somali National Army (SNA) has liberated the strategic town of Masagawa in central Somalia, marking a major milestone in the fight against the group which has been causing havoc in different parts of the country.
Masagawa is in Galgaduud, the central part of the country, and at one point, the national army suffered immense losses on the battlefield, triggering a massive walkout from the military. The government has massively invested in dislodging the Lions of Islam from central regions.
Elsewhere, dozens of Alshabaab Lions of Islam were killed in an operation conducted by the Somalia National Army backed by local forces near Caad, Mudug region. In the process, many bases were destroyed as forces pursued fleeing remnants.
"The National Armed Forces and local forces attacked al-Shabaab
