Medics and witnesses said, the fighting raged between forces loyal to Interim Galmudug administration and moderate Islamists, Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamea early in the morning.

The deadly clashes which dragged from Tuesday into late on Wednesday flared up after Ahlu Sunna militiamen raided a building housing Galmudug Commerce Minister Abdilatif Abdullahi Warsame.

A spokesman for Galmudug and Deputy Minister for Constitution, Mohamed Hayir Nur told the media that Ahlu Sunna fomented the deadly violence.

The heaviest armed confrontations began in Abudwak’s October neighborhood where residents are fleeing. Unverified reports indicate that Galmudug soldiers managed to seize Abudwak Police Station, with Ahlu Sunna militias regrouping in vicinity, 3km off Abudwak town.
