The Minister of Defense of the Federal Government of Somalia, Ahmed Macalin Fiqi, has strongly criticized the action of the Burundian army that withdrew from the Hawadley area in the Middle Shabelle region, and took over Al-Shabaab.
The Minister strongly criticized the action of the Burundian army that withdrew last Monday from the Hawadley area in the Middle Shabelle region, which is a strategic area.
“It is not possible that the so-called foreign forces have left Hawadley and the Khawarij have entered. This is not how we can stay in the Banadir region, we will launch operations that will focus on the two Shabelles,” said the Minister of Defense of Somalia, Ahmed Macalin Fiqi.
He also pointed out that Minister Ahmed Macalin Fiqi that the Middle Shabelle and Lower Shabelle regions are the only areas where general security can be ensured in the capital city of Mogadishu.
“The security of the Banadir region can be protected from the two undefended Shabelle tribes of Heliwaa and Karan. The people of the Banadir region, which has a population of over four million, must participate in the fight against Al-Shabaab,” said Somali Defense Minister Ahmed Macalin Fiqi.
Finally, Minister Fiqi praised the successes of the Macawisleyda Hawaadle forces in heavy fighting yesterday against Al-Shabaab in the Ceel Hareri area of Hiran region, during which more than 20 Al-Shabaab members were killed.
