| (SomaliNet) Militia loyal to former rule of Jowhar city some 90km north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu Mohamed Omar Habeb known as ‘Mohamed Dhere’ began on Saturday security operations cleaning the region off the bandits. The move came after gangsters have increased in the region for the past few days with the security forces arrested some of that gangs which used to rob the travelers. Reports from Jowhar say that the forces are taking orders from the new administration that recently formed in the middle Shabelle region in north of Somalia. The security in Jowhar has been deteriorating since the administration was changed, as the city was a place abundant with robberies. |
