ISIS militants killed in Somalia's Puntland as war on terror intensifies
 [Garowe] The Puntland...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... Security Forces [PSF] heightened the fight against ISIS Lions of Islam who have been pushing to control the northern state, but whose efforts have often hit a snug due to vigilant security forces in the region. On Friday, PSF dislodged ISIS Lions of Islam from their hiding base in Timirse village, with officials hailing the gain as an "important achievement" in the operations to make Puntland a terrorists-free region in Somalia. The region is considered the safest in Somalia. Posted by: trailing wife 2021-07-11 |
