Beledweyne — Authorities in central Somalia say that undisclosed newly trained troops for TFG have arrived at Beledweyne town, the provincial capital of Hiiran region to boost up the security.

Adawe Elmi Nur, the deputy governor of Hiiran region for Somali government, told Shabelle Media by phone from Beledweyne that those forces reached this morning the town have recently completed their training course provided by Somali and Ethiopian military experts in a training camp located Junta-Kundisho area, on the outskirts of Beledweyne.

Beledweyne, a strategic town in central Somalia, lies just about 206 miles (332 km), north of Mogadishu fell to Somali and Ethiopian troops in last December after Al shabab fighters retreated, all without firing a single shot.

AU soldiers, mainly from Djibouti have dispatched the first troops in the town this month to take over the security from the current operating Ethiopian troops who are not part of African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).

We are doing well but, reer ceelbuur are still al shabaab victims there is the threat comes from.
To finish al shabaab we need to have similar official systems in hiiraan and galgaduud

We are part of the TFG, the only way hiiraan and galgaduud could work with eachother not the ahlussunna way.

How many troops came... does anybody know? Last I checked the Hiraan maamul had something like 3000 men. Thats close to the amount of Ahlu Sunna troops in Galgaduud I think. My question is...why arent all these maamuls like Hiiraan and Gedo who are being reinforced by newly trained soldiers getting rid of the rest of the Shabab in their areas?

This is bc of al shaab out of our borders from places like wabxo and ceelbuur.
We are enough To crush them inside hiiraan where the majority of evry district are againist them but we can't go futher of our borders from where they attacking maxaas and moqokori.
Ceer hg are fighting againist them and we have no problem from matabaan borders but they have their own ahlusunna agenda.
now the tfg has gotten bigger and will reach soon all the abgaals of middle shabeele from balcad. This is what we are waiting to socure the southren borders.
