Residents of Mudug are a worried lot after discovering that Al-Shabaab militants have set up base in the region.
The militants now have a strong presence just outside Wisil town.
Accordingly, this has left the residents worried that the militants probably plan to capture their town.
Local sources reported that Al-Shabaab militia built camps in the region a few months ago.
Apparently, the militants made this move following a deadly fight between them and the combined force of the Galmudug and Somali National Army (SNA) forces.
Their fears are justified considering the recent fighting between government forces and Ahlu Sunna militants in Guri-El, Galmudug.
