Somali federal lawmakers from the Puntland State House constituency have tabled a motion seeking a platform to present a report on the region’s ongoing offensive against ISIS militants in the Al-Miskad mountains. This operation has been supported by airstrikes from the United States and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The motion, which they tabled on Monday, highlights the importance of addressing the security situation in the region and the need for transparency regarding the progress and challenges of the military campaign. The lawmakers aim to provide updates on the offensive, which is part of broader efforts to combat terrorism and stabilize the region.
The involvement of international partners, such as the US and UAE, underscores the global significance of countering ISIS in Somalia, particularly as the group seeks to establish a foothold in the country. The report is expected to shed light on the effectiveness of the operation, the impact on local communities, and the way forward in ensuring long-term security in the area.
This development reflects the ongoing collaboration between Somali authorities and international allies in the fight against terrorism, as well as the commitment of Somali lawmakers to keep the public informed about critical security operations.
