Two Civilians Killed in Clan-Related Revenge Attack in Galgaduud
Reports from Huurshe, a village in the Galgaduud region, indicate that armed militia carried out a deadly attack earlier today, killing two civilians.
According to local sources, the assailants are believed to have come from the Abudwaq area, and the killings are suspected to be linked to a revenge incident stemming from clan-related disputes.
Witnesses say the gunmen fled the scene immediately after the attack, leaving behind tension and fear among residents. Security sources report that the situation in Huurshe and surrounding areas remains tense as fears of further retaliatory violence grow.
This latest attack adds to a string of clan-related killings that have recently increased across parts of the Galmudug regional state. Local elders and community leaders have repeatedly called for stronger government intervention to prevent the cycle of revenge attacks that continue to claim innocent lives.
Just last week, an 80-year-old woman was killed and her son injured in a similar clan-motivated attack in the Guudoole area of Galgaduud, highlighting the growing insecurity and the urgent need for reconciliation efforts in the region.
