Local elders have accused Jubbaland’s security forces of abducting around 15 young boys in recent days.
While speaking to the media on June 26, the elders said that the whereabouts of the young boys remain unknown.
Apart from the abductions, the elders added that the regional forces not only burnt down houses but also killed many civilians.
According to the traditional elders, the government troops carried out the brutal exercise of abducting boys, killing civilians, and burning buildings in Qudus, Lower Jubba.
Many families are now forced to spend their nights in the cold while exposed to mosquitoes after the soldiers destroyed their houses.
