In late October 2021, clashes occurred in Galmudug, Somalia between the Somali Army and Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a, a Sufi militia.[1]
On 30 September 2021, Somali Armed Forces attacked the Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama'a (ASWJ) fighters in Galmudug state. ASWJ took control of Mataban and Guriceel towns following the clashes.[2] On 1 October 2021 ASWJ rebels took control of Guriel followed by Eldhere day later.[3]
The clashes erupted on 23 October in the Guriel District.[1] On 25 October, local government said that 16 soldiers had been killed.[1] The ASWJ said the total death toll from the clashes is at least 120.[1]
The ASWJ had been a government ally in fighting the civil war from 2010, but their previous arrangement broke down. The ASWJ first fought against the army in February 2020.[1]
