Al-Shabaab movement regains control of the town of Wabu, after the withdrawal of Somali forces from it

 

Wabhu - Gunmen affiliated with the Al-Shabaab movement recaptured the town of Wabhu, near the city of El Bor in the Gil Ghudud region, after the withdrawal of federal government forces and local militias.

A few days ago, the allied forces took full control of the strategic town of Baho and other areas in the Galgudud region of Galmudug state in central Somalia.

In a sudden turn of events, the federal government forces and clan militias withdrew during the past hours from several major cities in the state, including Misgway, Budbud, Gilad and El Tir, all of which were recently liberated from the grip of Al-Shabaab.
