Why It Matters

Al-Shabaab has been a persistent threat in Somalia, a country with a population of 18 million in the Horn of Africa. The group’s frequent attacks have destabilized the region, causing significant loss of life and prompting international military involvement.

What They Are Saying

Somali army spokesman Abukar Mohamed Hassan reported that Al-Shabaab executed “a massive assault” from various directions in the Eldheer district, utilizing suicide bombers and heavily armed militants. The national armed forces, along with local militias, fought back, killing more than 20 militants.

Hassan mentioned that international partners provided air support, although he did not specify which countries. Typically, Turkey and the U.S. offer military assistance to the Somali army. He confirmed that the attack resulted in the deaths of at least two Somali soldiers and three local clan militia members.

Al-Shabaab claimed through its Radio Andalus station that its fighters had taken control of four army bases around Eldheer and killed numerous soldiers. However, these claims have not been independently verified.

A local elder, Muhyadiin Arabow, described the battle as lasting about four hours, causing some residents to flee. He noted that Al-Shabaab used explosive-laden vehicles against army posts, destroying civilian homes and injuring at least eight civilians.

Bottom Line

The latest attacks by Al-Shabaab in central Somalia highlight the ongoing security challenges in the region. Despite the efforts of Somali forces and international allies, the militant group continues to pose a significant threat, causing widespread casualties and displacement among civilians.
