Jibsiile, Galgaduud – Fresh violence erupted on Friday in the Jibsiile area of Galgaduud region as a clan conflict reignited, leaving several people dead and others wounded. Local sources report that fighting has raged for three consecutive days, with no resolution in sight.
Despite the deadly clashes, both the Galmudug state and federal government have remained silent, prompting criticism over the lack of official response to the crisis.
Clan-based violence continues to pose a major threat to stability in Somalia, especially during periods of political tension, such as upcoming elections or ongoing anti-terror operations. Analysts warn that failure to address underlying grievances could further destabilize the region.
