Garowe (KAAB TV) – Security sources confirm that the Daesh group has split into two factions, since the Puntland forces captured the strong defense of Turmasale.
The news adds that the general command of the Daesh militia has disintegrated after being removed from Turmasale, which caused the members of the group in charge of the leadership of the armed militia to disagree on the strategy of the war.
The foreign officials of the group suggested to carry out night attacks and to close the exit holes with explosives, but never engage in a direct battle that could result in more losses but they were strongly opposed by Somali members, most of them from Puntland.
It is said that the leadership of the war in charge of the group became two factions, which were divided into Somalis and foreigners, and many of the foreigners in both groups came from abroad.
The foreign group decided to launch ambushes, mostly at night, and to mine the bases, but not to engage in direct combat while the somali group prefer to engage in direct combat and shootouts with the security forces of Puntland.
