Beledweyne (HOL) - The President of Hiiraan State and Commander of the Public Defense Forces, Ali Jeyte Osman, has accused al-Shabab militants of instigating the recent inter-clan fighting that occurred along the borders of Hiiraan and Middle Shabelle regions.
Osman, who was among the officials sent by the federal government of Somalia to seek a solution to the conflict, stated on Tuesday that militias from the brotherly communities share a common enemy, namely al-Shabab.
"I urge the youth to allow me to join the fight against the Khawarij. We must unite in this battle," said Ali Jeyte Osman.
