A frightening situation has emerged in South West following the battle in Baydhaba

Baydhaba (Caasimada Online) – A state of fear and strong concern has arisen from the intense battles that have recently recurred in the city of Baydhaba, the capital of the Bay region, between government forces and those loyal to Cabdicasiis Lafta-gareen.

These battles have resulted in significant casualties, including deaths, injuries, destruction, and displacement caused by the local population, and there is still ongoing fear regarding the possibility of renewed fighting between the two sides, which are still positioned outside the city.

Former MP Maxamed Cumar Dalxa, who gave an exclusive interview to Shabelle Tv, revealed that if the current situation is not addressed, the fighting could spread to all other areas of South West Somalia, as he stated.

“Right now, isn’t there fighting in Baydhaba, while you see it spreading to villages and districts, who is not holding an AK47 at home? Today is not like yesterday,” Dalxa said.

He also called for calm to be shown, and for dialogue and unity to be approached regarding the political and security tensions in the South West Administration.

“I say this need, brothers, is good for South West, which we all share, but this back-and-forth will not continue,” he added, former MP Maxamed Cumar Dalxa, who hails from the South West regions.

This statement comes as a curfew has now been imposed in Baydhaba, which restricts the movement of people and vehicles after the Maghrib prayer.

This decision is part of measures to strengthen the security of the city, as Baydhabo still faces a security situation that requires additional vigilance and close monitoring of activities occurring within the city.
