Senior Somali National Army (SNA) officers have traveled to Garbaharey to monitor security ahead of elections for federal parliamentary seats.
Garbaharey is the second voting center in Jubbaland after Kismayo.
The officers were from SNA’s 43rd Division.
Garbaharey is the provincial capital of Gedo in the regional state of Jubbaland.
The town has been unable to hold elections for its share of the House of the People seats due to misunderstandings between some of its leaders.
There are fears that the security in the town is not up to scratch.
