MOGADISHU, Somalia – In a successful operation conducted in the Golweyn area of the Lower Shabelle region, the Somali National Army (SNA) has eliminated a key member of the Al-Shabaab terrorist group, Abdikadir Haji Eenow.
This significant achievement was made possible with the help of local intelligence, as residents near Golweyn town provided crucial information about the militant’s whereabouts.
Farah Mohamud Hirsi, the Commander of the battalion responsible for the operation, shared the news with Shabelle radio, highlighting the importance of community cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
The operation not only demonstrates the SNA’s commitment to eradicating the threat posed by Al-Shabaab but also showcases the effectiveness of local intelligence in achieving such victories.

The SNA’s success in this operation serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to restore peace and security in Somalia.
