Abooreey village in Hiraan province has become a focal point of intense clashes between Al-Shabaab militants and Somali government forces, supported by airstrikes from allied partners. Despite the heavy use of artillery and aerial bombardments, Al-Shabaab has successfully maintained control of the village, showcasing advanced battle tactics that have made it challenging for government forces to dislodge them.
The militants have effectively utilized the region’s terrain, constructing underground bunkers to conceal their fighters and heavy weaponry. Additionally, they have deployed landmines and snipers strategically, significantly increasing casualties among government troops.
Al-Shabaab has received continuous reinforcements from neighboring areas, including the western parts of Hiraan and settlements along the river, enabling the group to maintain a consistent supply chain of food, medicine, and fresh troops, further prolonging the conflict.

The elder’s statement comes at a time when security concerns remain high in the capital despite ongoing military operations against the group. His remarks are seen as a call to unity among clans and communities to resist extremist influence.
