Tensions high in Afmadow. Air strike kills 4 Habar -gidir (Hawiye Pirates Wing) and others wounded in Hobyo Habar Gidir, Hawiye Pirate Headquarters
Tension is high in Afmadow district of Lower Jubba region following the arrival of Al Shabab militias who fled from yesterday’s fighting between them and Pro TFG troops in areas surrounding the town.
The militias were seen forcibly taking away the young men and ordering them to take part in what they termed as defending the town.The leader of Al Shabab in Afmadow, Muse Lafole said to the public that they expect attacks from forces supporting the Transitional Federal government in a bid to take over the region.Pro government soldiers took control of some of villages near to Afmadow in yesterday’s fighting where Al Shabab were formerly in control.Residents in Afmadow are worried that a possible clash between Al Shabab and the Pro TFG forces could cause civilian casualties and disrupt daily activities and usual business.Al Shabab militias recently lost ground to pro-government forces in parts of Lower Jubba region.
