Al Shabaab fighters ambushed militias loyal to Barre Hirale who were trying to cross River Juba in Goob Weyn Village (14km NE of Kismaayo) on 08/02. The militias were defecting to Jubaland forces in Kismaayo when the ambush took place. One militiaman was wounded in the attack while the rest fled. Barre Hirale militias are based east of the river in Goob Weyn whereas AS have their base in Goob Weyn. Reports indicate that there is an agreement between al Shabaab and Hiraale that his militia cannot cross with their weapons to assure security for the villagers and also that defectors do not take their weapons to Jubaland administration. This agreement was seemingly violated by Barre Hiraale militia men which triggered the al Shabaab ambush them. |
