Abdulqaadir Muumin, the newly appointed ISIS leader in Somalia, remains at large in the Cal Miskaad mountains despite intensive operations by Puntland security forces and U.S. special operations troops. Recent strikes have killed senior ISIS operatives, destroyed weapon stockpiles, and weakened the group’s financial resources. Officials estimate that nearly 200 fighters remain in the area, struggling with food shortages as authorities vow to continue efforts to dismantle the extremist network.
