NSF extends its condolences to the families of the CXD heroes who were martyred in the attack and wishes a speedy recovery to the officers and other soldiers injured in the attack. ”
The fighting was fierce between Al-Shabaab and government forces and there are reports of casualties on both sides.
The forum’s statement condemned the fighting and accused the outgoing president of not giving priority to the army. It is also clear that he has deployed most of his troops to Mogadishu to suppress dissenting politicians. “Many troops, weapons and other anti-terrorism equipment have been transferred to Gedo region, fueling civil strife in the area, which has resulted in much bloodshed.”
“National Salvation Forum also accuses the outgoing president of failing to fulfill his mandate of the Somali National Intelligence Service, which was tasked with providing information on Al Shabaab activities.
