Boosaaso governor orders businesses to fund Puntland forces fighting ISIS
|
[ShabelleMedia] The governor of Boosaaso, the commercial capital of Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
, Abdifitah Mohamed Osman, issued strict orders demanding local businesses and traders contribute financially to support Puntland security forces battling ISIS.
In a public statement, Governor Abdifitah warned that any company or business that fails to comply with the fundraising directive will face closure or removal from the city.
“Businesses that do not participate in supporting our defense forces will no longer operate in Boosaaso. Those who ignore this order will be legally dealt with,” he said.
The announcement comes amid Puntland’s intensified military campaign against ISIS militants, currently in its fourth phase.
Puntland forces have recently recaptured key strategic positions from the group in the mountainous areas of Bari.
Officials say sustained financial backing from the local community is critical to maintaining momentum in ongoing counterterrorism operations against extremist elements entrenched in the region.
