Coming days Forecast
Somali Federal Government passed counter terrorism bill into law and this will give the government power to deal with the issue of radicalization among the youths. This will be a big stride towards preemption of terrorist cells and securing the nation.
Somali National Army is getting backup from Kenya Defence Forces as well as other UN peacekeeping under AMISOM to push the Al Shabaab militants out of major Somali towns and other insurgent’s strongholds. This in turn will see more Bulo Burde residents as well as other Somali residents from other parts of the country receive food and medicine a thing they have not experienced for more than a year.
