Pastorals versus Shaboobs in Battle of the Bays
Take the Pastorals and give the points...
An intense conflict erupted between pastoralists and Al-Shabaab fighters in some neighborhoods under Bay's Bardaale district.

The news reports coming from the region indicates that Al-Shabaab requested from the pastoralists to pay Zakat but they refused, allegedly why the battle broke out.

The casualties and losses caused by the skirmishes have not been specified, and local residents are reporting that the pastoralists have been supported in the clashes by troops of the Somali National Army.
