He wrote in a post on Facebook, "It is astonishing that the Somali community wants to be misled by false news. If weapons were seized, it is unreasonable for Teacher Mahdi to want to mislead the community in the capital; there are no military vehicles on our side that have come into the hands of the former president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.

In 48 hours, 2 vehicles and one Abdi Bile vehicle that were at the battle site were not taken by the media and were discussed.

The discussions were fruitful, with mediators from the Mudulood clan and the Turkish and American ambassadors, and the 7th president of the country, Mr. Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, returned to the fold.
