Aalmiskaad (KAAB TV) – The Puntland government has urged senior members of the Daesh group currently engaged in combat in the Calmiskaad mountains to surrender and accept the amnesty offered by President Said Deni. This amnesty is extended to those who abandon extremist ideologies and the violent conflict.
General Adan Abdi Hashi, Commander-in-Chief of the Puntland Defense Forces, stationed on the frontlines of the battle, also appealed to the Daesh fighters to lay down their arms and surrender to the Puntland army.
In particular, General Adan Abdi directed a message to Abdirahman Fahiye Isse, a prominent Daesh leader, urging him to take advantage of President Deni’s amnesty. He warned that failure to do so would result in severe consequences from the Puntland military.
“Abdirahman Fahiye, the man known as Abdul Qadir Mu’min, I have no advice for you, nor do I have any strength left. Stop manipulating the youth from Balade to Tasjiic. You are leading them to destruction,” General Adan Abdi stated.
He continued, “Abdirahman, know that we will punish you. The people you are hiding know the truth. Don’t sacrifice the young men of your family. You will face the consequences.”
This individual, who is being urged to surrender by the Puntland authorities, was previously reported by some international media as having been killed in an airstrike in the Calmiskaad mountains. However, Puntland now believes he is still alive and actively involved in the ongoing conflict.
