However, with the liberation of the district, the people are now able to freely access the Internet and connect with the rest of the world.
The Defense Minister’s message was met with widespread support and congratulations from the Somali public, who celebrated the regained freedom and security in the town. The town’s liberation also serves as a symbol of the progress being made in the fight against Al-Shabaab.

The residents of the district are overjoyed and grateful for this development, as it will allow them to stay connected, access information, and improve their quality of life.
