Da’ud Haji Irro, official from Middle Shabelle Administration, said the joint forces conducted security operations in several areas between Jowhar and Mahaday towns, where they captured Biyo-Adde without facing any resistance from the militant group, Al-Shabaab.
“Somali National Army (SNA) and the African Union Peacekeeping troops captured the Biyo-Adde neighbourhood; they also captured other small villages from the terrorist group. The operation will go ahead until they are cleared,” Irro said.
The security operation comes after the AU forces in Somalia warned Wednesday that Al-Shabaab militants are planning to disguise themselves as AU soldiers to carry out attacks. Enditem
