Ethiopian troops in Galgaduud have freed 10 young Somali men who had been detained for five days without charge after the troops conducted an operation in El-Qooxle locality, officials say.

Ethiopian soldiers last week launched security operation in El-bur and its environs and they apprehended several young men in those areas who were suspected to be Al-Shabab members.

SNA commander in El-bur told Goobjoog News the young men were released after they were found not guilty of any offence.

“They were arrested from El-bur as they were suspected of being Al-Shabab fighters but were free and they are happy” he said.

Some of the young men who spoke to Goobjoog News said that they are happy to get their freedom after five days behind bars.
