(10/08/2023) MOGADISHU – Abdi Abdullaahi, a key figure within the Al-Shabaab terrorist group, has surrendered to the National Army in Bahdo, Mudug Region. Abdullaahi held a crucial role in overseeing health services for the group, focusing on treating injuries sustained by leaders of the Al-Shabaab faction.
This surrender coincided with a series of intense attacks on Al-Shabaab forces over the past few days, resulting in the dispersal of the group’s members. Notably, a significant number of Al- Shabaab members, including both leaders and militiamen, have surrendered recently. This trend points towards a potential weakening of Al-Shabaab’s influence in the region.
The surrender of Abdi Abdullaahi marks a significant development in the ongoing efforts to counter extremism and restore stability. Further updates on this evolving situation will be provided as information becomes available.
