Hirshabelle MPs demanded security support for the Region

Parliamentarian Nuru Hashi Warsame, one of the MPs of Hirshabelle administration, told Goobjoog News that there is a security vacuum in Mogadishu-Balcad road.

Warsame said  Al-Qaeda attacks are carried out in the road between Mogadishu and Jowhar, Hirshabelle administration requires a great security support from the national government.

“Security Challenges are all over the country, but currently, the road link between Mogadishu and Balcad are committed on dangerous attacks by al-Shabaab fighters targeting Hirshabelle Administration along with the government officials. And it can only be addressed nationally and not Hirshabelle alone can do something,” said the MP.

Warsame called on the Somali federal government to address the security situation in Mogadishu and Balad road.

Members of Hirshabelle parliaments alongside with their soldiers were killed in the road between Mogadishu and Jowhar following al Shabaab gunfire on their vehicles last month.
