Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) has successfully apprehended three members of Al-Shabaab in Mogadishu, marking a significant achievement in the ongoing effort to secure the capital. The operation, which was meticulously planned, led to the capture of individuals involved in various acts of insecurity. NISA also presented photographs of the detainees, revealing their connections to a network operating within the city. Additionally, two Bajaj motorcycles and a Fekon motorcycle, used for their activities, were seized.
This arrest demonstrates NISA’s commitment to restoring peace and ensuring the safety of Mogadishu’s residents. The federal government has intensified its security operations across Mogadishu in recent days, aiming to strengthen stability in the region.
Despite these gains, Al-Shabaab continues to pose a threat within Mogadishu. The group maintains an active presence, with intelligence operatives still found in the city. Recently, the group has threatened shop owners and businesspeople who installed security cameras, leading to the deaths of some entrepreneurs. Al-Shabaab’s threat persists, not only in Mogadishu but across Somalia, as the government strives to counter their influence
