Al-Shabaab Offensive in Galguduud Displaces Pastoralist Communities
An Al-Shabaab offensive against Somali National Army positions in the Galguduud region forced thousands of pastoralists to flee. Reports from Radio Ergo suggest that 6,000 people were displaced as the militants seized control of several key watering holes and grazing lands. The displacement is exacerbating food insecurity, as families lose access to livestock and primary livelihoods. Humanitarian access to the region remains highly restricted due to the presence of improvised explosive devices on main roads.
