MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – Somalia’s president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud ordered blockade on Al-Shabaab-held districts in the central region of Galgadud as residents continue to suffer from the impact of prolonged drought, Somali MP Faisa Mohamed Jayte said on Saturday.
The MP said Somali troops refused food and other essential supplies to reach her constituencies of Elbur, Galhareri and Eldher in Galgadud region, accusing the president of targeting a specific clan.
It is the first time such a blockade on areas inhabited by civilians has been reported since Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud declared an all-out war on the Al-Qaeda-aligned militant group Al-Shabaab.
