Puntland to Intensify Crackdown on ISIS After Military Gains
|
[Garowe] The federal state of Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
shall extend the crackdown against the IS-Somalia murderous Moslems by targeting their sympathizers, regional leader Said Abdullahi Deni said while recognizing the sacrifices by the military teams engaging the fighters.
Deni, who ordered for activation of Operation Lightning, said the military teams on the frontlines had made significant progress in pursuing the IS-Somalia bully boys, adding that most strategic towns are now in the custody of local forces.
"After defeating ISIS, we will hunt down its sympathizers who hold misguided beliefs and are hiding in the cities," said Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni, speaking at the passing out parade of army recruits in Bosaso.
However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
Deni, who visited the Bari region, the epicenter of the bully boys, called on the people not to harm those seeking a better life in Puntland and directed security agencies to take responsible and effective action against bandidos bully boyz hiding among foreign nationals arriving and residing in Puntland.
Locals have been working closely with the regional troops, frogmarching those believed to be associates of the ISIS bully boys. At least 300 people have been arrested for further interrogation, the majority of them believed to be foreigners.
He praised the troops for their bravery in fighting ISIS, specifically highlighting their successful operations in the Cal-Miskaad mountain caves where they defeated the group in a short period.
The operations saw the local forces intercept at least 12 drones used by the IS-Somalia bully boys, with the military killing at least 15 murderous Moslems who are suspected to have been coordinating attacks against innocent civilians in the northern state of Somalia.
Puntland has made this milestone without support from the federal government, which has, however, lauded the forces for their successes. Puntland is one of the most stable states in Somalia but has lately been battling infiltration of the violent mostly peaceful krazed killer groups in the region.
Puntland Imposes Media Blackout on ISIS Contact Amid Offensive
[ShabelleMedia] In an effort to secure its military operations against Islamic State (ISIS) strongholds in the Al-Miskat mountains, Puntland has prohibited media outlets from communicating with the group, the region’s Information Minister Mahmoud Aydiid Dirir announced on Saturday.
The decision aims to safeguard operational secrecy and ensure that journalists adhere to official guidelines during this critical phase of the campaign, according to a statement.
Key points of the media restrictions include:
- No access to conflict zones without explicit permission.
- Information on military activities must be sourced exclusively from government channels.
- Travel to battlefronts is off-limits without clearance from the Information Ministry.
Dirir underscored the importance of these measures in protecting the lives of reporters and maintaining the confidentiality of military strategies as Puntland’s forces strive to dismantle ISIS enclaves.
