Mogadishu (HOL) —A violent clash between two clan militias erupted on Wednesday in the Qoryooley district of the Lower Shabelle region, causing significant damage and disrupting daily life. The intense battle involved the Garre and Jiide communities, who have a history of conflict in the area.
Preliminary reports indicate that up to three people from both sides have died, with many more injured. The conflict, sparked by recent clan-based killings that claimed the lives of four individuals from both communities, has led to a tense atmosphere in Qoryooley.
The fighting has severely disrupted business activities and traffic in the city. The militias remain positioned near the conflict areas, further heightening the tension in the district.
Residents are on edge as the situation remains unstable, with local authorities yet to bring the violence under control. The ongoing presence of the militias continues to pose a threat to the community's safety and stability.
