The administrative capital of Harshabell State in Lower Shabelle region said that fierce fighting erupted between the Somali government forces backed by AMISOM forces and Al-Shabab fighters in the town of Jowhar, which are stationed in AMISOM forces, especially in Burundi.


 Farmajo, who started using al-Shabab to postpone elections to create a difficult situation after reaching an agreement on al-Shabab elections, killed 100 people in an hour-long battle last night.


 Al-Shabaab militants killed Colonel Mohamed Abdel Wahed Farah, a senior Somali army officer, in an attack on Wariz village, on the outskirts of Jowhar, a few days ago.
