The protesters in Doolow were joined by local administration officials, including Doolow District Commissioner Mohamed Hassan Lafey, who survived what was reportedly an assassination attempt on Thursday night.

Speaking in Doolow today, Commissioner Lafey said they would never forgive Turkey, describing the airstrike as a politically motivated assassination attempt.

“I never expected that Turkey and countries such as Egypt would politically attempt to kill a citizen in his own home,” he said, referring to the airstrike in Doolow.

Protests were also held in the town of Garbahaarrey, where demonstrators burned Turkish and Egyptian flags.

Residents protesting in Doolow and Garbahaarrey condemned the Turkish airstrike on Doolow district, which hosts humanitarian organisations and a large population of displaced people.

“The attack was carried out by Turkey and mercenaries,” said Doolow District Commissioner Mohamed Hassan Lafey.

Protesters said they were praying for General Mahad Abdirahman, who was the target of the airstrike and who, along with his wife, sustained injuries in the attack.

The bombing, which hit a residential area in Doolow on Thursday night, killed at least one person and injured several others, including General Mahad Abdirahman, his wife and members of his security detail, local officials said.

General Mahad Abdirahman, known as General Shubka is the former commander of Somalia prison guards and the father-in-law to Abdiaziz Laftagareen, the ousted president of Southwest State.

In a statement, ousted Southwest State President Laftagareen also accused Turkey of carrying out the attack, saying it was intended to assassinate General Mahad Abdirahman.

General Mahad now leads a faction of Southwest State forces fighting against the forces loyal to Southwest State leader Adan Madobe in Baidoa, where clashes between the two factions have resulted in deaths.

Turkey has been accused of becoming involved in Somalia’s internal conflict, while protesters strongly condemned the Mogadishu government, which they alleged was involved in the attack on Doolow.

The Somali government said it is investigating the incident.

The Turkish Embassy in Mogadishu has yet to comment on the allegations surrounding the airstrike.

The Doolow district commissioner called for the ongoing conflict in Southwest State to be addressed through dialogue.

Speaking about recent developments, Col. Mahmoud Shire said an ISIS-linked foreign fighter detonated himself on Wednesday night after being wounded by Puntland security forces.

According to the commander, the militant was attempting to plant a roadside bomb along the route connecting the Sheebaab and Dhaadaar areas when troops engaged him.

The commander said Puntland forces injured the suspect before he carried out the planned attack, leading him to trigger the explosives he was carrying.

The incident is part of a broader campaign against armed extremist groups operating in the rugged mountainous terrain of Almiskaad.

Meanwhile, Puntland forces have launched what officials describe as a large-scale military offensive against ISIS positions across several areas of the Almiskaad mountains.

The operations are aimed at clearing militant hideouts and disrupting the group’s activities in the region.

The latest offensive comes as Puntland has intensified its military campaign against ISIS in recent months, particularly in the mountainous areas of Bari, which have long served as a key refuge for the group’s fighters.

Authorities say operations are continuing, with security forces pursuing remaining militants and working to dismantle their networks in the region.

The clashes began in the early morning hours, with intense gunfire and heavy weapons fire reported across several parts of the city.

Residents described a tense security situation as fighting spread through multiple neighborhoods, including Towfiiq, Bukriye, Baalyaale, Alfaras, Boonkaay and Al-Ahmar.

According to local reports, forces loyal to Laftagareen launched a multi-front offensive on the city, triggering fierce street battles.

Civilians were forced to remain indoors as gunfire and explosions echoed across affected areas, while conflicting claims emerged over which side controlled key neighborhoods.

Among those reportedly killed was Dahir Moallin Hassan, said to have been the head of security for Sheikh Aden Madobe.

Sources in Baidoa also reported casualties on both sides of the conflict, although the exact breakdown of military and civilian deaths has not been independently verified.

Hospitals in the city were reportedly overwhelmed with casualties suffering from gunshot wounds and other injuries sustained during the fighting. Because the clashes occurred inside populated areas, concerns remain high that the civilian death toll could rise.

Later reports indicated that some of the Laftagareen-aligned forces that had advanced into the city withdrew from positions they had earlier captured after suffering casualties.

Reports of deaths and injuries among the attacking forces have also emerged, though exact figures remain unclear.

Witnesses said military aircraft were seen flying over Baidoa during the clashes. However, the purpose of the flights and the identity of the aircraft have not been officially confirmed.

The Federal Government has maintained that military operations in South West State are linked to the broader campaign against Al-Shabaab, while opponents describe the fighting as a confrontation between government-backed forces and troops loyal to Laftagareen.

Several civilian homes were reportedly damaged during the clashes, and fires were reported in parts of the city. Many families remained trapped inside their homes as fighting continued throughout the day.

The situation in Baidoa remains fluid, and casualty figures, damage assessments, and battlefield developments could change as more information becomes available.

According to local sources, the strike hit the house where Taliye Shub had been staying, causing extensive damage to the building.

Preliminary reports indicate that he was outside the house when the airstrike occurred, reportedly resting on a bed in the compound, a circumstance that may have spared him from the full impact of the explosion.

Witnesses said the blast caused significant destruction, with large sections of the residence collapsing. Taliye Shub was reportedly wounded by shrapnel and debris, although early reports describe his injuries as minor.

He was later transported to Doolow General Hospital, where he received medical treatment. Sources familiar with the situation said his condition is stable.

Reports from the area indicate that at least three people were killed in the strike.

Some accounts identified the victims as two individuals believed to be close associates or staff members of Taliye Shub, along with an Ethiopian woman who was reportedly working at the residence.

The reported death toll has not yet been independently verified.

Following the attack, Ethiopian troops stationed in Doolow reportedly secured the area and tightened security around the damaged property.

Doolow, located near the Somalia-Ethiopia border, is a strategically important town, making any major security incident there particularly significant.

The South West State administration aligned with President Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen accused Turkish military aircraft of carrying out the strike, though no official confirmation has been issued regarding the identity of those responsible.

The incident is expected to intensify scrutiny of the already fragile political and security situation in southern Somalia, particularly in Gedo region, where tensions between rival political and military factions remain high.

General Mahad Abdirahman Aden previously served as Commander of the Somali Custodial Corps and held several senior military positions during his career.

In March 2026, Somalia’s Council of Ministers removed him from the position of Prison Service Commander and appointed Major General Mohamed Sheikh Hassan Hamud as his successor.

Authorities have yet to provide an official account of the strike, and questions remain over its intended target, the circumstances surrounding the attack, and the final casualty figures.

Residents told Kaab TV that intense clashes involving heavy weapons broke out in several neighborhoods, with gunfire and explosions heard across the city.

Witnesses said the fighting disrupted normal movement of people and vehicles, while many families remained inside their homes amid fears that stray bullets and shelling could hit civilian areas.

The violence comes after weeks of growing political and security tensions in Baidoa.

Disputes over the leadership of South West State and disagreements surrounding the region’s political future and electoral process have fueled instability, prompting repeated security deployments in and around the city.

The latest clashes have heightened concerns that the ongoing political standoff could evolve into a wider armed confrontation. Fighting inside a densely populated urban area poses a significant risk to civilians, many of whom have limited options to flee to safer locations.

If the conflict continues, it could disrupt business activity, transportation, and essential public services.

Attention is now focused on Baidoa as residents and observers await further developments, amid fears that the violence could intensify or spread to other parts of the city.
