The federal Minister of Defense, Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, received Ma’awisley forces commander Liban Sheikh Shuaib from Southwest State in Mogadishu on Sunday.
The discussions focused on intensifying military operations against Al-Shabaab and equipping local communities to free territories under the militant group’s control.
This collaboration underscores the federal government’s commitment to empowering local forces like the Ma’awisley, who play a pivotal role in liberating rural areas.
Such initiatives aim to enhance the broader campaign to restore security and stability across Somalia.
