With Assistance from Foreign Allies, Somalia’s Intelligence Agency Eliminates 40 Al-Shabaab in Operations

MOGADISHU, Somalia – Somalia’s intelligence powerhouse, NISA, teaming up with global partners, carried out a high-stakes raid across Middle Shabelle and Galgadud regions. The mission concluded with the demise of 40 al-Shabaab operatives, including the notorious Moalim Aarow, a mastermind of numerous assaults. Within 24 hours, the strike also left 29 rebels nursing injuries.

The target? Vital al-Shabaab hotspots dotted across the Yaaqle area in Middle Shabelle and Galgadud’s remote villages, sharply crippling their movements and obliterating key military gear. NISA declared these disruptions as a major hiccup for the militants navigating these critical zones.

Hot on its heels, this op mirrors another triumph by Somali troops in Qeycad, southern Mudug, neutralizing 30 more al-Shabaab militants. This is part of the government’s ramped-up campaign against the extremist faction.

This series of operations was fueled by pinpoint intelligence on al-Shabaab’s moves, showcasing a bold bid to outfox the insurgents, with a solid nod of encouragement from international allies.

These military maneuvers echo Somalia’s relentless drive to curtail al-Shabaab’s clout and operational punch within its borders.
