I hope they don't put their guards down. The reason why the checkpoint was places was because a truck filled with tons of explosives received a free passage from baraxley, that truck blew up a hospital and killed 40 people.
Whenever Alshabab suffers a devastating blow in the south, they flee to the north and increase their activities in Puntland. Since that checkpoint was placed zero terrorist attack or assassination happened. That checkpoint should remain especially now as Farmajo will go crazy on Alshabab in xamar.
