The forces of Somalia, especially the Eagle commandos, today recaptured El Deer district in Galgaduud region.
The government forces have taken control of El Deer district and the surrounding areas, after the Al-Shabaab members who were there fled.
The commander of the 17th battalion of the Eagle commandos, Major Sahid Jama Farah, who led the operation, confirmed that the forces have cleared Al-Shabaab from all areas in the east of Galgaduud region under the Eeldheer district.
The commander also said that the troops are currently carrying out a search for mines on the roads leading to and exiting the district of Eeldheer in Galgaduud region.
At the beginning of the year 2023, the government forces captured the district of Eeldheer, but Al-Shabaab took it back when the government forces withdrew from that district.
In the past few days, the government forces with the help of local people have taken over important areas from Mudug and Galgaduud regions of Galmudug administration.
