Somali army kills 30 Al-Shabaab members in Jubaland state
2024-03-04
[ShabelleMedia] An hours-long operation that was carried out jointly by Somali and regional forces in areas of the Lower Jubba region targeted al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
’s main bases.

The operation in areas along the river in Jamame district,
…elsewhere given as Jamaame town, near River Jubba…
killed more than 30 members of the al-Shabaab, according to a statement issued by the Federal Government of Somalia.

The government forces with the help of Jubaland Darwish forces have increased the operations targeting the al-Shabaab group in the past few days, according to the reports.

On the other hand, the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab group has issued a statement claiming victory in the war that took place in several areas in the southern Lower Jubba region.

The Ministry of Defense said SNA’s Danab forces conducted on Saturday a successful operation in Bar Sanguuni, Lower Juba, neutralizing 19 and capturing 9 al-Shabaab bully boys.

The operation, which disrupted enemy supply lines, also resulted in the confiscation of weapons and the removal of mines, advancing the ongoing battle against terrorism.
Garowe adds:
Besides military operations, the government has also invested in tracking and locating the group's sources of funding, including closing down 250 bank accounts and 70 mobile money transfer firms, which are linked to funding the krazed killers.

Also, the government has closed down websites and social media groups that are linked to Alshabab krazed killers. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud maintains that by December 2024, the group would have made significant losses in the country as the Somali National Army took over security responsibilities.
