Danab Forces Distribute Food Assistance as Ramadan Begins

GOOBJOOG NEWS | MOGADISHU: The Somali National Army’s Danab Special Forces combined counter-insurgency operations with humanitarian outreach at the start of Ramadan, clearing militants from a central region before distributing food aid to drought-affected families.

After securing Jabad Godane area from Al-Shabaab fighters, Danab commandos delivered staple food supplies to vulnerable residents as the holy month began.

Military officials said the assistance was aimed at easing hardship during Ramadan, when many families are grappling with the effects of prolonged drought.

They described the initiative as part of a broader strategy to stabilise newly recovered areas by pairing security gains with community support, as the government works to restore services and strengthen public confidence following militant withdrawal.
