Deadly battles in central Somalia between Al Shabaab and nomads
BELEDWEYNE, Somalia - Heavy fighting erupted on Thursday in central Somalia after Al Shabaab militants attacked nomadic communities, Garowe Online reports.

Local reports say Al Shabaab militants "killed a number of nomads" in a village approximately 50km west of Beledweyne, capital of Hiran region, after a dispute as Al Shabaab wanted to collect some of the nomad's livestock as "payment". However, nomadic communities organized themselves and launched a counter-attack against Al Shabaab militants.

Mohamed Ibrahim Abdikarim, Hiran deputy governor for security matters, told reporters that, "the nomad fighters killed 12 Al Shabaab militants and seized their weapons".
Give those nomads some extra ammo and a few more AKs...
Al Shabaab group has not publicly addressed the matter
...since they were fleeing...
and casualty reports could not be independently identified.
