Somali terror organisation fighters loyal to Al shabaab movement conducted a large military exercise in Afgoye corridor where a lot of Somali displaced people live, an Al shabab official said on Monday.


With the presence of some al shabaab officials, hundreds of the group’s fighters have matched a long walk at the villages of Lafole, Arbiska, Elasha and KM 13 in Lower Shabelle region in southern Somalia.

Chanting Arabic slogans including Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest), the fighters were dressed in same military uniforms which is said to be a clear they are ready to participate what Al shabaab called the ongoing holly war in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu.

Sheikh Mohammed Abu Abadalla, Al shabaab’s governor in Lower Shabelle region has spoken at the exhibition of the military drill and praise the fighters how they got ready to fight against African union Peacekeepers and Somali government forces.

Abu Abdalle called them to perform and live up what he called their religious duties.

The military exercise of Al shabaab, which is charged with having links with Al Qaeda, comes one after the group imposed strict orders on Somali women in IDPs camps just outside Mogadishu.

A female refugee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Shabelle, a local radio station based in Mogadishu, that women were ordered to wear full-length body coverings even when they are in the privacy of their own homes, adding that any one seen violating the edict would be punished.

Early Sunday morning, pick-up trucks mounted with loudspeakers could be seen in the villages KM 13, Siinka Dheer, Elasha, Lafole and Arbiska where thousands of displaced Somali civilians have taken refuge. Residents expressed a deep concern about the new rule that also forces women to stay home unless escorted by an adult male (Muhrem).
