| KISMAYO, Somalia -- Three Jubaland soldiers were found dead in the outskirts of the southern port city of Kismayo, Garowe Online reports. The three bodies were on Sunday uncovered near a military base that lies a few kilometers away from Kismayo presidential palace according to witnesses. Independent sources disclose that the three soldiers, two men and a woman identified as Hawo Wiilo fought alongside former warlord-Col. Barre Adan Shire (Barre Hirale)-militias. In early September, Barre Hirale surrendered to African Union mission in Somalia (AMISOM) following a two-month long IGAD-brokered mediation efforts. Jubaland forces alongside Kenyan-AMISOM battalions are battling Al Shabaab militants in remote areas near Kismayo. |
