Bariire, (SONNA) \u2013 The Somali National Army (SNA), which recently liberated the town of Bariire, has presented to the media a senior commander and fighters from the al-Shabaab terrorist group captured during the operation.<\/p>\n

Zakariye Qaasim Bagax, a reporter on the ground in Bariire, interviewed two of the detainees. The first, described as one of the group\u2019s most ruthless commanders, was found chained to a large tree, reportedly prepared to fight to the death. However, SNA forces captured him alive. The second, apprehended while wounded, was identified as a cunning militant leader who admitted that the fighters under his command\u2014killed during the battle\u2014had been brought in as reinforcements from Jilib in Middle Juba region.<\/p>\n

The Somali National Broadcaster will air in-depth interviews with these detainees in the coming hours, offering further insight into the group\u2019s operations and leadership.<\/p>\n
