Saalax Posted March 16, 2016 Reer Mogadishu should take notes. You don't need thousands of AMISOM troops to defeat Al shabab. Reality is if Al shabab doesn't have local support, it won't survive. GAROWE, Somalia-Puntland troops have clashed with Al Shabaab fighters in deadly battle in the village of Suuj as forces are closing in on militant positions in Nugal region village of Godobjiran, Garowe Online reports. On Wednesday morning, Puntland Defence Forces (PDFs) in armored vehicles raided militants regrouping in hideouts near Garmaal coastal village, 80km off former pirate hub, Eyl according to sources within the army. Puntland government officials have told that eleven Al Shabaab fighters were killed in the ongoing clean-up operations in areas along the Indian Ocean. Speaking at a press conference in the State capital of Garowe, Information Minister Mohamud Hassan Soadde has indicated that they have gained upper hand in the ongoing fighting. Puntland mobilized army units toward Nugal and Mudug coastal villages following Al Shabaab’s seizure of Garacad and Garmaal. Meanwhile, Puntland Information Minister, pledged a safe passage for militants, saying they should hand themselves in. Continuing, he predicted that the anti-Al Shabaab operations could be concluded in 72 hours. On Tuesday, senior Al Shabaab official identified as Saacid Karate delivered sermons in Garmaal, and pleaded with villagers—mainly fishermen—to cooperate in peaceful reciprocity. Two Al Shabaab batches have so far reached Puntland, with another band advancing on Godobjiran where government troops are now stationed for potential Al Shabaab attack. Puntland leveled a scathing criticism of UN-backed National Government for alleged role in Al Shabaab thrust, allegations denied by Interior Minister Abdirahman Odawa on VOA Somali Service.

Saalax Posted March 16, 2016 Doesn't matter if they are native Puntlanders, they will be crushed. No mercy, unlike certain segments of southerners that harbor their terrorists. Congratulations to Galmudug as well though for flushing them out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tillamook Posted March 16, 2016 Saalax, "Culusow's riffraff hutus karbashed in Puntland" would have made a better title for this thread.? In any case, Puntland shall remain faithful in its fight against the abject moryanism of an increasingly desperate and spiteful Culusow. Puntland will never tire in its efforts to restore Somalia to its rightful place. P.S I urge any savvy investor out there to buy shares in the Chinese factories that make the keffiyehs these hutus cover their faces with...? P.P.S Malistar, have you dusted off your cimaamad yet? Pity we can't see it when you post on Sol? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted March 17, 2016 Seems like the operation in Suuj has ended with success. And the one in Garacad should come to close tomorrow inshaAllah. This should be a lesson for those mooryaan afduublay that future endeavor will only mean death. Unlike other regions, there are no clans here sympathizing for your cause nor are there any villas for your leaders, so your best bet is to stay wherever you at and keep away from this land.

Illyria Posted March 18, 2016 This does not make any sense. it is suicide if nothing else. why would al-shabaab fighters go to an area where they have zero support? Plus Puntland forces are much more organised, disciplined and hardened than their dacas-donning counterparts elsewhere in the south. why risk it? There is more to it that meets the mind.
