Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Citizens Wait for TFG-Shabaab War in Lower Jubba
Afmadow Lower Jubba (SDN) -Reports from towns near Afmadow in the lower Jubba region say transitional federal government forces are getting ready to engage Al-Shabaab in that city.
Officials with the TFG stated the plan is to liberate the city of Afmadow from Al-Shabaab control. Government forces are conducting rapid operations in the centre of the city which has some residents worried. The town is home to pastoralists who fear for their lives and livelihoods.
On the other end of the city Al-Shabaab is reportedly gathering weapons and organizing its fighters to fend off the government attack.
The situation is dire with fighting expected to begin at any moment between the allies of the transitional federal government forces and Al-Shabaab.
