In a historic development, the Somali National Army, in collaboration with local forces, has achieved a significant milestone by gaining entry into the historic town of El Bur. This achievement marks a critical advancement in the collective effort to eliminate the threats posed by extremist elements in the region.

The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that the national army has successfully secured entry into El Bur and is currently engaged in comprehensive security sweeps across the town. These efforts are aimed at identifying and neutralizing potential dangers, including mines and sleeper cells, that may have been left behind by the terror group Al-Shabaab.

The strategic importance of El Bur cannot be overstated, as it has long been a stronghold for Al-Shabaab. The well-coordinated planning and execution of this operation demonstrate the commitment of the national forces to ensuring the safety and security of the local population.

The Ministry of Defence assures the public that all necessary precautions are being taken to ensure the successful completion of the ongoing security operations within El Bur. The safety of the residents and the restoration of peace remain the top priorities. Further updates will be provided once the security operations conclude and El Bur is officially declared safe.

The Ministry extends its appreciation to the brave members of the Somali National Army and the local forces for their dedication and sacrifices in pursuit of a more secure future for the nation.
