Iyadoo lala kaashanayo Dowladda Federaalka ee Soomaaliya, Taliska Mareykanka ee Afrika wuxuu fuliyay labo (2) weerar cirka ah oo lagu bartilmaameedsanayay khubarada al-Shabaab ee ku xeel dheer qaraxyada agagaarka Jilib, Soomaaliya, Dec. 10.

“Waan sii wadi doonaa inaan cadaadis saareyno shabakada al-Shabaab. Waxay sii wadaan inay wax u dhimaan amniga Soomaaliya, waxayna u baahan yihiin in la xakameeyo oo la duleeyo, ”ayuu yiri Gen. Stephen Townsend, taliyaha ciidamada Mareykanka ee Afrika.

Qiimeynta hore waxay muujineysaa in duqeynta lagu dilay argagixisada oo caan ku ahaa inay door muhiim ah ka ciyaaraan soo saarida waxyaabaha qarxa ee Al-Shabaab, oo ay ku jiraan waxyaabaha qarxa ee gawaarida xamuulka lagu qaado (VBIEDs). Qalabkan ayaa si isdaba joog ah loogu adeegsadaa in lagu bartilmaameedsado dadka rayidka ah ee aan waxba galabsan. In kasta oo qiimaynta ugu horreysa ee saameynta ay socoto, haddana waxaa la qiimeeyay in aysan jirin dad rayid ah oo wax ku noqday ama ku dhintay.

Al-Shabaab waxay fulisaa daraasiin weerarro VBIED ah sannad kasta guud ahaan bartamaha iyo koonfurta Soomaaliya, oo ay ku jiraan kuwa rayidka ah, dowladda, iyo bartilmaameedyada Mareykanka. Laga soo bilaabo 2018, kooxdu waxay fulisay qiyaastii 45 weerar oo loo yaqaan VBIED oo ka dhacay magaalada Muqdishu oo keliya, taasoo si wadajir ah u keentay dhimashada in ka badan 400 oo rayid ah, ciidamada amniga iyo saraakiisha dawladda.

“Duqeyntani waa inuu u muujiyaa cadow kasta inaan garab istaagno shuraakadayada isla markaana aan si adag u difaaci doonno nafteena iyo la-hawlgalayaasheena inta lagu guda jiro dib u dejinta iyo hawlgallada mustaqbalka,” ayuu yiri Maj. Gen. Dagvin Anderson, Taliyaha Wadajirka ah - Quartz. "Waxaan sii wadi doonaa inaan ilaalino xoog xoog leh oo aan garaacno kuwa doonaya inay waxyeeleeyaan anaga ama lamaanayaashayada."

Taliska Mareykanka ee Afrika iyo la-hawlgalayaashiisa caalamiga ah waxay aqoonsan yihiin muhiimadda xasilloonida Soomaaliya. In kasta oo nabadda iyo xasilloonidu u baahan yihiin maamul adag iyo in dadka Soomaaliyeed la siiyo barnaamijyo dhaqaale iyo fursado, haddana nabadgelyadu waa mid aasaas u ah mid kasta.
