Somalia says it has destroyed 17 operation centres used by the al-Shabaab militant group in Mogadishu as it looks to improve security in the capital.
Interior Affairs and National Security minister Abdikarim Hussein Guled on Monday said that the security forces had also arrested dozens of loyalists to the terror group.
He was speaking following a high-level meeting held at Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon’s residence which was attended by cabinet members and commanders of the army, police and the security agencies.
The meeting was also attended by officials from Mogadishu’s municipality.
