Somalia’s Council of Ministers Commends Puntland Forces for Liberating Al-Miskaad from ISIS Khawarij

Mogadishu, SONNA – The Council of Ministers of the Federal Republic of Somalia has praised the courageous efforts of Puntland State forces for their successful operation to liberate the Al-Miskaad mountains in the Bari region from the ISIS-affiliated Khawarij group. The operation, which dealt a significant blow to the extremist group, marks a major victory in Somalia’s ongoing fight against terrorism.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Council lauded the Puntland forces for their bravery and strategic success in defeating the Khawarij militants, who had been using the rugged terrain of Al-Miskaad as a hideout. The operation has not only disrupted the group’s activities but also weakened their presence in the region.

The Council of Ministers emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration in the fight against terrorism. It called on all government agencies to actively support the forces and people of Puntland in their efforts to combat the enemy. The Council reaffirmed the federal government’s commitment to eradicating extremism and ensuring the safety and stability of all Somali citizens.

This victory comes as part of Somalia’s broader counter-terrorism efforts, which have seen increased cooperation between federal and regional forces. The liberation of Al-Miskaad is seen as a critical step in dismantling the operational capabilities of ISIS-linked groups in the country.

The Somali government has urged continued vigilance and solidarity among its citizens and security forces to sustain the momentum against terrorist organizations. The Council of Ministers vowed to provide all necessary support to ensure the complete eradication of extremism and the restoration of peace across the nation.

As the people of Puntland celebrate this significant achievement, the federal government remains steadfast in its mission to secure Somalia’s future and protect its citizens from the threats of terrorism.
