(Hadalsame) 08 Juun 2023 – Ethiopia said on Wednesday it had foiled an attack by jihadist group Al-Shabaab on a town on its border with Somalia.
The Ethiopian army “stopped the attackers in their tracks before they could wreak havoc” in the Ethiopia-Somalia border town of Dollo, the foreign ministry said in a Twitter post.
Itoobiya ayaa Arbacadii sheegtay in ay fashilisay weerar ay kooxda mujaahidiinta Al-Shabaab ku soo qaadeen magaalo ku taal xadka ay la wadaagto Soomaaliya.
Wasaaradda arrimaha dibadda Itoobiya ayaa qoraal ay soo dhigtay barteeda Twitter-ka ku sheegtay in ciidamada Itoobiya ay “iska joojiyeen kooxihii weerarka soo qaaday ka hor inta aysan dhibaato ka geysan magaalada Doolow ee xuduudka ay wadaagaan Soomaaliya iyo Itoobiya.
Doollo ee Itoobiya waxay wax ka yar saddex kilomitir (2 mayl) u jirtaa mataanteeda Soomaaliya, Doolow.
Ciidamada Difaaca Qaranka Itoobiya “waxay dhex dhexaad ka noqdeen is-qarxinta waxayna burburiyeen hub ay u adeegsan lahaayeen kooxda argagixisada ah,” ayay wasaaraddu sheegtay.
Dollo in Ethiopia is less than three kilometres (2 miles) from its Somali twin, Doolow.
The Ethiopian National Defence Forces “neutralised suicide bombers and destroyed weapons to be used by the terrorist group,” the ministry said.
Authorities in the Ethiopian region of Somali, which lies close to the Somali frontier, said they killed about 100 Al-Shabaab militants who had infiltrated the Ethiopian territory.
Mas’uuliyiinta Ismaamulka Soomaalida Itoobiya oo ku dhow xuduudka Soomaaliya ayaa sheegay in ay dileen ku dhawaad 100 ka tirsan Al-Shabaab oo gudaha u soo galay dhulka Itoobiya.
Al-Shabaab oo xiriir la leh Al-Qaacida, ayaa muddo ku dhow 15 sano waday kacdoon Jihaadi ah oo dhiig badan ku daatay oo ka dhan ah dowladda taagta daran ee Soomaaliya.
Al-Shabaab, linked to Al-Qaeda, has been waging a bloody jihadist insurgency against Somalia’s fragile central government for about 15 years.
