Mogadishu, Somalia — SONNA: The Commissioner of Somalia’s Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA), Mr. Mahmoud Moalim Abdulle, alongside the Director of Health of the Somali National Army (SNA), Dr. Abdullahi Muse Ahmed, visited soldiers wounded in recent counterterrorism operations at the Somali National Army Hospital.
The officials met with troops injured during clashes with Khawarij militants (Al-Shabaab) in Wargaadhi and Labi-goley, Middle Shabelle region, where government forces have intensified offensives.
As part of the government’s commitment to frontline troops, Abdulle—a member of the National Committee for Supporting the Fight Against Khawarij Groups—handed over first aid medicines and an ambulance to the hospital’s director, Mr. Saadam Abdullahi Osman. The supplies will bolster medical care for soldiers engaged in ongoing operations.
commissioner Abdulle commended the troops for their “selfless role” in recent battles, acknowledging their gains against terrorism. “The government is dedicated to enhancing healthcare and support for our brave soldiers,” he stated, reaffirming efforts to ensure proper treatment for the wounded.
The visit shows Somalia’s push to strengthen military medical services as operations against Al-Shabaab continue. The SNA, alongside allied forces, has escalated ground and air strikes to reclaim militant-held territories.
