In a powerful display of unity and determination, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Adado town, Galgaduud region, to show their unwavering support for the government’s operations against the notorious terror group Al-Shabaab. Carrying placards and banners expressing their endorsement of the government’s efforts, the demonstrators voiced their solidarity with the ongoing campaign to eliminate Al-Shabaab from Galmudug state.
The demonstrations marked a significant milestone in the nation’s strategy to rid itself of the menace of Al-Shabaab, with Galmudug state being the focus of the first phase of this grand plan. The initial phase included the liberation of both Hirshabeelle and Galmudug states, with Hirshabeelle already completely freed from Al-Shabaab’s grip. The final push is now underway to liberate the remaining areas still under the control of Al-Shabaab in Galmudug state.
Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, officials from Addado and Galmudug state delivered resolute speeches, promising to lead the charge against Al-Shabaab alongside the national army. Their words echoed the sentiments of the demonstrators, who pledged to stand shoulder to shoulder with the armed forces in defense of their homeland against the scourge of terrorism. The officials emphasized that with the collective determination of the public and strong leadership, the days of Al-Shabaab’s dominance are numbered.
The President of Somalia, who temporarily relocated his operations to Galmudug state earlier this month, has been overseeing the culmination of the first phase of the plan. This demonstrates the government’s unwavering commitment to eradicating Al-Shabaab and restoring peace and stability to the nation.
As the successful completion of the first phase draws near, attention now turns to the commencement of the second phase. This pivotal stage will involve the liberation of the remaining two states, Southwest and Jubbaland, from the grip of Al-Shabaab. The determination shown by the people of Adado town and Galmudug state serves as a beacon of hope for the entire nation, reaffirming the resilience and unity that will ultimately lead to the eradication of Al-Shabaab’s presence across Somalia.
