The Interim Administration of Jubbaland is currently in heightened military activity in Lower Jubba’s Dhoobley and Af-madoow districts with reports indicating that the state is to launch an offensive to liberate two key towns from the terror group Al-Shabaab militants.
A senior Jubbaland military official Mohamud Khaalib told local media that they will not rest until Buaale and Hagar towns were brought under government control. Buaale is the official headquarters of Jubbaland State of Somalia as per the state’s constitution.
Sources say forces recently trained in Af-madoow and Dhooble who were heavily armed have been dispatched to the areas under the auspices of Jubbaland. The two areas are the remaining key towns under militant rule. Al-Shabaab has been under pressure the past few weeks from the combined forces of AMISOM and the federal government who dislodged them from several key areas including Baardheere and Diinsor.
