Sources in Buur Duubo, Gedo say that a fierce fighting erupted in the town between Government troops and Al-shabaab last night. The fighting happened after Al-shabaab militias have attacked a base for the Government troops there in Buur Duubo. The fighting took for quite some time before it ceased. At least four persons from both sides were killed in the fighting and scores were wounded. Government troops and Ethiopian troops are still manning the base where the fighting happened. Calm has however returned to the area. Neither the government not Al-shabaab has spoken about the fighting.
