Nur Mohamed Absuge, chairman of the Jalalaqsi district, confirmed the complete takeover of Buurweyn and Shaw to the National Media. This development marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts by the Somali government and regional forces to dismantle Al-Shabaab’s presence in the country.
These gains are part of a broader strategy to weaken Al-Shabaab's influence and restore stability to the region. Recently, the Somali National Army, in collaboration with Jubbaland State forces, successfully seized several areas in Lower Juba, including Lagta Qubbi and Golhadamo. These operations aim to secure the critical road between Kismayo and Afmadow, further crippling Al-Shabaab’s operational capabilities.
The capture of Buurweyn and Shaw is expected to substantially diminish Al-Shabaab’s influence in western Hiiraan. The operation followed a disruptive attack by Al-Shabaab on the Jalalaqsi district the previous night. Al-Shabaab had maintained control over Buurweyn and Shaw for more than a decade, making this victory a significant step forward for the Somali forces.
As the Somali National Army and regional forces continue their concerted efforts to reclaim territories and restore peace, the successful recapture of Buurweyn and Shaw stands as a testament to their determination and resilience. This achievement not only weakens Al-Shabaab’s stronghold in Hiiraan but also brings hope for a more stable and secure Somalia.
