Security agents and their respective agencies are on high alert in Mahas ahead of the visit by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
The President is scheduled to visit Mahas, a city in the Hiiraan region, on Sunday.
His visit was publicized on Friday considering that Mahas is a frontline city full of Somali National Army (SNA) troops fighting Al-Shabaab militants.
Sources from the Office of the President intimated that the visit is to conclude the first phase of the war on terrorists.
President Mohamud’s administration launched phase 1 of the operations in August 2022.
