The public uprising against Al-Shabab terror group has not yet peaked, according to national security adviser to Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre.
Kamal Dahir Hassan Gutale who spoke to Voice of America said he expects more communities from different regions to join the fighting.
“The public were always ready to fight al-Shabab [radical insurgents],” said Kamal in an interview with VOA’s Harun Maruf.
He added: “What is different this time is the government; the president and the prime minister have started to encourage them and stand with them when the community decided to mobilize.”
The Somali federal government has strongly hailed the local mobilization efforts and is calling for expansion of the resistance to other provinces to totally eradicate terrorists.
