Talking to Ceel huur Mudug today i have learned there is Military stand between Alshabaab and ex X&X Army at the border between the two 10 km north of Xarardheere.
Since long time the border area between Alshabaab Xarardheere and the very well armed of ex Ximan iyo Xeeb Local militia was quite this was due to an agreement made by al shabaab after they confronted a very well armed and organize Ximan and Xeed Pirate and local militia who where better armed and had more military muscle then shabaab back then this resulted peace deal.
This peace deal come to an end last week after alshabaab made their first wrong move upwards to the sea since X&X is now Galmudug and they are now confronting the very well armed ex X&X militia Pirates 10 km outskirt of Xarardheere.
Today is day six of confronting each other.
from what i heard Alshabaab called rescue army and are coming to xarardheere as far as Bakool and hiiiraan.
This Military stand could see eathier shabaab out of mudug galgaduud region, or them going to North remember this is the only main border between a real Somali militia military power that stopped shabaab without any foreign for alshabaab to move upnorth otherwise they could of capture as far as Sland long time ago.
will post any updates
