Dabrow Posted October 27, 2018 KISMAYO (HOL) – Heavy fighting has broken out between security forces and clan militias in the southern Somali port city of Kismayo town, officials say in a new escalation of fighting late on on Saturday. Three of people including a tribal elder died during a street battle which involved in mortar shelling in the centre of the town, 500km west of the Somali capital. Security forces said they were pursuing violent elements that attacked troops. The two sides used mortars and machine guns, residents said as the sound of gunfire rattled throughout the city which has experienced a period of calm since Kenyan and Somali forces loyal to the Kenyan-backed regional Ahmed Madobe seized the town from the Al-Qaeda linked al-Shabab group in 2012. According to residents, the clashes started after Jubbaland, the regional administration in charge of the town issued a new decree banning illegal arms in the town, an order opposed by some armed clans in the town that resisted it, leading to clashes with the security forces. Some tribal elders have however opposed the order by the local administration, arguing that they had to maintain their weapons for self-defense purposes, an explanation dismissed by the local administration. Hundreds of residents have reportedly started fleeing the town as the two warring sides were engaging street battles across the town’s streets by Saturday evening. Tension is reportedly high as night fell as the two sides started receiving reinforcements, raising fears of more escalations in the town which also serves as the key base of the Kenyan African Union forces backing the Somali government.

Madoobe waa nin ka haray dagaal oogayashii dalka soo maray, xalkiisuna waa qori uu ku difaacanayo 5km.
