Shaboobs battle local herders in Hiiraan region
Take the Herders and give the points...
INABAAL -- dozen of people wounded in a heavy fighting between Al Qaeda linked Al Shabaab militants and local herders in Inabaal residency of Hiiraan region.

The fighting erupted after Al Shabaab attempted forcefully take domestic animals from the residents by telling locals it was their Islamic duty to 'donate' their livestock, but the locals refused. However, the situation is calm and things returned back to normal as local residents resume their daily activists on Saturday.

Neither local community herders nor Al Shabaab officials made any comments on the attack so far.

Inabaal residency situates 25 KM north of Mahas district near Baladweyne, the capital of Hiiraan region.
