[ShabelleMedia] Somali government forces are working to fully secure areas in the Middle Shabelle region that were attacked by al-Shabaab
 ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
gunnies on Thursday, as the situation remains tense in the aftermath of the assault.
A statement from the Somali government released on Thursday indicated that up to 130 al-Shabaab gunnies were killed by government forces in the areas where the attack occurred. However,

independent sources have not confirmed these casualty figures, and there has been no independent verification of the government’s claims.
Locals in the affected areas report that tensions remain high, with festivities still ongoing between the Somali military and al-Shabaab fighters. The areas, which include El-Ali, El-foldheere, al-Kowthar, and Daru-nimca villages in the Middle Shabelle region, have been the site of intense fighting in recent days.
According to witnesses, there is still a significant military presence in these areas, with forces reportedly on high alert in preparation for further festivities.
The government has deployed additional forces to help secure the region, including a helicopter, which was publicly displayed by the authorities. The government claimed the helicopter played a role in the operation, though the specifics of its involvement remain unclear.
