Somali Forces, Militias Advance on Aboorey Amid Clashes with Al-Shabaab |
2025-04-24 |
[ShabelleMedia] Somali Federal Government troops, supported by Macawisley militias, are advancing towards Aboorey in the Hiraan region, about 20 kilometers from Buulo-Burde. The town has been under al-Shabaab![]() control for the past two weeks. The joint forces are reportedly conducting operations on Aboorey’s outskirts, with escalating concerns over potential direct festivities with al-Shabaab. Recent weeks have seen heavy fighting between Somali troops and murderous Moslems, including a retreat by government forces following an al-Shabaab assault on their base in Aadan Yabaal, Middle Shabelle. The renewed operations aim to prevent al-Shabaab from advancing towards Mokoqori and Buulo-Burde, further strengthening efforts to reclaim territory in the Hiraan region. Multiple Sources told Radio Shabelle that operations will continue as part of a larger campaign to oust al-Shabaab from the region. The goal is to regain control of Aboorey and nearby Yosooman, restoring stability and weakening al-Shabaab’s influence in the area. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... tensions remain high, with the possibility of renewed festivities in the coming days.
