A conflict is reportedly erupting in the Raaskambooni region tonight at 12:00 AM. It is unclear who is involved in the fighting in the area, which saw the recent deployment of the Somali Federal Government forces. These forces were sent after tensions escalated between the federal government and the Jubaland administration, which governs the region. The dispute centers on the controversial Jubaland elections, which the region conducted independently, despite the federal government organizing a unified election process.
The ongoing battle remains unclear at this moment, but sources suggest that the fighting is still taking place. It is uncertain whether the clash involves Jubaland forces or the Somali Federal Government forces that had been deployed to the area by aircraft. However, Jubaland had previously warned of such a scenario and had set a 15-day deadline to resolve the issue peacefully.
The tensions in the region have reached a critical point, especially following the election victory of Ahmed Madobe, the President of Jubaland, which further exacerbated the crisis.
