Al-Shabaab is facing a military offensive that led to the liberation of dozens of key villages from the group in Hiran, where Somali troops backed by local militia are trying to flush out the militants.

Mr. Laerke said the UN and partners have reached 5.7 million people with some form of assistance, “but critical gaps remain, including in core lifesaving sectors”.

The regional leader stated that the combined forces managed to detain 70 Al-Shabaab members during the latest military operation in the Middle Shabelle, bordering Mogadishu, the capital.

Abdalla is also accused of publishing a “secret” video; in reference to CCTV footage that he tweeted of intelligence and security agents trying to force entry into the SJS offices in Mogadishu.

The SNA commanders leading the operation confirmed that the rare ambush took place in Halfoley, a key area that sits on the border between the Middle Shabelle and Hiran regions.

The IMF said Somalia still needed continued and immediate support from international partners given the current severe food crisis, but also needed to work on building longer-term resilience to climate shocks.

No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but it bore the hallmarks of previous Al-Shabaab attacks in Mogadishu.

The Treasury Department said Monday that it has sanctioned a group of high-ranking members of the Somalia-based al-Shabab militant group, who act as key middlemen between the group and local companies in Somalia.

"Kenyan Somalis thrive in business across the country because they are hardworking. Continued ethnic profiling by propelling propaganda that we are taking up the CBD, should stop," he added.

The PM went to Ethiopia for the attendance of Tana Forum 2022 on Africa's security and resilience in Bahir Dar, the capital of the Amhara region, north of the country.

Somali president Hassan Sheikh said the government will close all financial resources of Al-Shabaab to deny the group access to pay for weapons and fund its terror attacks in the country.

The new ambassador is expected to arrive in the country's capital Mogadishu to submit his letter of Credentials to the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
