Reports received from the city of “Il Tir” in the region of “Galgadud” in the center of the country indicated that the Somali government forces, backed by local militias, succeeded in liberating the “Gherili” area, located between “Il Tir” and “Osweni”, from Al-Shabaab fighters.
Officials in the federal government forces who are leading the operation said that their main target is the town of “Osini”, where it is expected that Al-Shabaab masterminded the major attack it launched against government forces in “Masgwai” on the 30th of last May.
The officials added that the government forces and their allies are heading to three towns in the Galgudud region of Galmudug province, which are: El-Pour, Golhariri, and Babu, which are controlled by Al-Shabaab.
The regions of Galgudud region are witnessing strong mobilization and military activities. Somali army officers and the Dervish forces of Galmudug say that the allied forces are heading towards the areas outside the control of the Somali government to liberate them.
