Jowhar (HOL) — At least 30 people were killed and several others wounded in violent clashes between clans near Adale town in the Middle Shabelle region on Friday, residents reported. 

The fighting, which involved various types of weaponry, caused significant casualties on both sides, including among civilians. The exact cause of the clash remains unclear.

"The atmosphere is agitated, and people are worried that more fighting could erupt," said one resident. 

Despite past federal government mediation efforts to resolve recurrent clan disputes in the Hirshabelle region, this latest incident underscores the fragility of peace in the Middle Shabelle and Hiiraan regions. The federal government has not issued a statement regarding the clashes or outlined any immediate steps to de-escalate the situation.
