Watch: Ugaas Xawaadle issues serious warning about the situation in Beledweyne

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online ) – The Ugaas of the Xawaadle Clan, Ugaas Yuusuf Ugaas Xasan Ugaas Khaliif, held a press conference last night in the city of Beledweyne, where he spoke strongly about the situation that has arisen in Beledweyne, which is currently experiencing tension between the HirShabelle administration and disgruntled politicians from the Xawaadle clan.

The Ugaas stated that the Hiiraan region is under threat of invasion, and that individuals from the Somali government are behind it, warning that they may attack the region.

He also sent a message to the people of Hiiraan, urging them to prepare to defend their territory to prevent the invasion he claims is imminent in the region.

“I have been stirred by a situation that has arisen where we are under attack by people who claim to be government officials, wearing government uniforms. People of Hiiraan, I want you to protect your status, your existence, and your region,” said the Ugaas of the Xawaadle Clan.

On the other hand, he called on local forces to take their role and defend their land to prevent it from being forcibly taken over in the Hiiraan region.

“I am telling the government forces from this clan who are in the city to defend your land and your people; every person from Hiiraan is obliged to defend their region, we are under attack,” he added.

This statement comes as there is currently a tense situation in the city of Beledweyne, where the Deputy President of HirShabelle, Cabdifitaax Xasan Afrax, arrived yesterday, while on the other hand, the former head of NISA, Cabdullahi Maxamed Cali (Sanbaloolshe), also arrived in the city with troops coming from the direction of Ethiopia.
