A Major Military Operation in Sanaag and western Bari, Why

 

Sep 8, 2008

 

SANAAG

- A huge military activity is taking place in Sanaag region to combat pirates and other insecurity activities such as land bandits and other criminal gangs.

 

 

 

Coastal cities such as Laasqoray, Durduri and Elayo districts have been chosen for a new military bases as Somali pirates are gaining strength after strength.

 

The bases will act as a deterrent for any abducted or hijacked ships steered towards the Sanaag and western Bari Coast.

The establishment of these new bases comes after a German couple were held in Almadow mountains which lies close to the city of Laasqoray.

 

Locals are said to be determined about improving the security situation in Sanaag so there will be no repeat of the hostage crisis that happened in Sanaag last June and July.

 

Eilbuh town which lies approximately 190km south west of Laasqoray has been chosen to be the central command centre for this military activity.

 

Col. Ahmed Jeeni-Tag,

a commander of the 2nd battalion based in Eilbuh have said to the local media that he ordered his forces to patrol Sool plateau to arrest and to destroy a ring of charcoal traders that has been reported in Sool plateau area.

The Col said that his forces have already captured 4 culprits who they have transferred to the central prison in Laasqoray.

 

 

This security crackdown

comes after the local forces have been united by General Abdulahi Ahmed Jama- former General in Somali Army and an American citizen- who returned to his Native Sanaag and Bari to restore hope and order.

 

Since the arrival of the General -who has received a huge welcome after a long absence, - there's been an enormous improvement of the security in Sanaag in particular and

many people of Puntland believe him to be the needed person to lead this region and Puntland in general out of the current miserable situation in which the pirates and other criminal gangs are reported to be robustly thriving.

 

The General is also running for presidential position in Puntland State of Somalia.

 

Last year, the city of Dhahar in South East of Sanaag was the first to establish Environmental Protection Forces armed with heavy battle wagons in order to eradicate the illegal use of charcoal.

 

 

This was hugely successful operation and it has received the admiration of other cities across Sanaag and in Southern Somalia which is experiencing similar massive charcoal trading.

 

The EPC are said to be the back bone of the current operation that is taking place in Sanaag.
