MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – The chief of the Al-Qaeda-aligned militant group Al-Shabaab Abu Ubeida Ahmed Omar has not too long ago appointed a brand new army commander, months after offensive by allied authorities troops and clan militias stalled within the central Somalia areas of Galmudug and Hirshabelle, officers stated.
Somali Nationwide Safety Advisor Hussein Moalim stated final week the insurgents appointed a brand new commander for the Jabha, a reputation for the group’s military.
In line with VOA Somali journalist Harun Maruf, safety officers imagine that Guled Ilkacase is now the chief of the group’s army changing Yasir Jiis, who was designated by the US in 2022 as a “world terrorist.”
Little is thought in regards to the new Al-Shabaab army commander, although a defector from the group claimed that he had frolicked with militants in Galgala, a mountainous stronghold for the group within the northeastern semi-autonomous area of Puntland.
