Backed by local clan militias, Somali army forces have recaptured Bulo Haji, a strategic area located approximately 80 kilometers south of Kismayo, the capital of the Lower Jubba region.
Congratulating the Somali National Army and the Jubbaland administration, Prime Minister Hamse Abdi Barre acknowledged their victory against al-Shabab in the Jubbaland region.
“Praising the National Heroes Army for their bravery, diligence, and honesty in liberating the country from the Khawarij,” said Prime Minister Hamse Abdi Barre.
Additionally, the Prime Minister stated that the Federal Government is committed to eliminating al-Shabaab and pledged that the liberated areas will receive basic services such as education, health, and security, just like other areas freed from al-Shabab.
Following the capture of Bulo Haji, the Somali army’s achievement comes a day after Somali government forces took control of Runirgood village in the Middle Shabelle region, located on the border between the Middle Shabelle and Galgadud regions.
