MOGADISHU (HOL) — Over 7,000 people have been displaced in Somalia's central Galmudug region in just four days, according to the United Nations refugee agency. The evacuation comes after Somali military forces vacated several areas starting March 10, 2024, creating a power vacuum that insurgent groups, notably al-Shabab, have quickly filled.
