Somalia Boosts Security in Mogadishu with New Troop Deployment
In a move to tighten security in the capital, the Somali government has deployed additional forces to the outskirts of Mogadishu. The new troops, who have undergone specialized training, have been assigned to monitor movement in and out of the city in an effort to prevent potential attacks by the militant group Al-Shabaab.
Over the past few hours, residents have reported seeing heavily armed soldiers in combat vehicles conducting operations across several parts of Mogadishu. According to an official statement from the federal government, “The operation, which is part of efforts to ensure the security of the capital, targeted key areas suspected of security threats.”
The deployment includes members of the Haramcad (Cheetah) Police Unit, an elite force known for its rapid-response capability and success in previous operations. The Haramcad unit has played a vital role in stabilizing several districts of the Benadir region, contributing to a noticeable improvement in local security conditions.
This latest move reflects the government’s ongoing strategy to curb Al-Shabaab’s influence and maintain public safety amid persistent threats. With the reinforced security presence, authorities aim to reassure Mogadishu residents and strengthen confidence in the city’s security apparatus.
As the operation continues, citizens are being urged to cooperate with security personnel and report any suspicious activity to help sustain peace and order in the capital.
