Ahlu Sunnah feels the heat as Galmudug piles up pressure

Storyline:National News

After losing strategic town of Abudwak to Galmudug State, the armed religious group Ahlu Sunna now blames the government for arming the newly formed state.

In a fierce fight yesterday, the fighters from Ahlu Sunnah were driven out of Abudwak district after clashing with Galmudug minister and his loyalists in the district.

Deputy Chairman of Ahlu Sunna Ali Bashi Farah has told the media that the federal government would be directly held responsible of whatever happens there.

“The National Intellegence and Security Agency vehicles were used in the fighting, and the arms were supplied by the government, and they were part in the fighting” said Ali Bashi

He called for the international community and friendly governments to keep an eye on the developing events there, which he warned would be devastating to peace building in Somalia.

Ahlu Sunnah has refused to recognize the newly formed Galmudug and has since taken ground from Galmudug, including Abudwak.
Now Galmudug seems to be piling up pressure and trying to spread its authority to the Central Regions.
