Sheikh Mohamed Shakir, a senior Ahlu Sunna leader, has blamed the Federal Government of Somalia and the Galmudug administration for engineering the conflict in central Somalia.
The cleric said the reason Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamaa’ returned to Galmudug state was to fight the Al-Shabaab terror group after having seen the local administration failing miserably to defeat the Al-Qaeda-linked terror militant group.
