Yesterday afternoon, African Union troops and soldiers from the Somali National Army liberated Maxaas from the control of Al-Shabaab. The Ethiopian troops in the town threw mortar shells at a territory known as the ‘Dhalaweyn Intersection’, approximately 5km from Maxaas in the Hiiraan region.
Locals reported that there were casualties and losses caused by the attacks although they have not been specified. Aadan Abdulle Awale, one of the officials from Ahlusunna Waljamaaca spoke to Radio Shabelle and added that emergency aid is needed to be provided to residents in Maxaas and that their conditions are poor. | |
