“We have seen a hundred of Al-Shabab fighters who arrived here during the past few days,” a resident who requested anonymity told Puntland Mirror.
The resident added: “the fighters are armed with handguns, but they do not have vehicles.”
Ceerigaabo and its surroundings are now controlled by Somaliland administration.

The militants are thought to be those who attacked a Puntland military base in Af urur village last month, killing at least 40 soldiers.
