MOGADISHU - Authorities in Galmudug State on Wednesday begun dissolving clan militia and merging them into the state's security forces ahead of the proposed national elections in Somalia later in the year.

Galmudug State Security Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi witnessed the process of integrating South Galkayo clan militias into Galmudug State security forces.

Minister Fiqi has facilitated the transfer of more than 60 fighters and five technicals from Saax Qurun village to Dhusamareb, the administrative capital of Galmudug State. The militias will undergo training before being absorbed into Galmudug security forces.


Minister Fiqi said that militias would undergo training before being integrated into Galmudug Dervish Forces.

The Galmudug Security Minister thanked senior officials of Somali Armed Forces, particularly Danab commandos for their role in maintaining security in Galmudug State.

On Sunday, organised clan militias attempted to release a businessman whom Danab commandos had taken into custody over alleged links with Al-Shabaab.

The intervention of elders in South Galkayo led to negotiations that culminated in the surrender of clan militias on terms set out by Galmudug State.
