According to news reports from Gedo, intense clashes erupted today between the Ethiopian-backed Somali National Army against Al-Shabaab in the region.
The fight was provoked as the troops were leaving Garbaharey en route to Baladxaawo, and Al-Shabaab staged an ambush whilst they were passing along the main road leading to the town. The battle went on for hours and until now there have been no reports of the casualties caused as we were unable to establish contact with Federal Government officials in Gedo.
