GAALKACYO – Rebel forces, discontented over unpaid wages, took control of the northern part of Galkayo, the capital of Mudug Region. The unrest unfolded overnight as protesting soldiers, demanding fair compensation, blocked traffic on key highways within Galkayo. Eyewitnesses reported a tense situation, with various vehicles now obstructed in the northern sector of the city.
The rebel forces, staging a protest against the Puntland government, are demanding their rightful salaries and additional rights that they claim have been neglected. The soldiers assert that until their grievances are addressed, they will maintain control of the northern area and continue to disrupt normal activities, including the flow of traffic.
Eyewitnesses on the ground have noted the impact of the rebel forces’ actions, emphasizing the challenges faced by civilians and commuters in the affected region. The demand for unpaid wages and unmet rights highlights underlying tensions within the relationship between the Puntland government and its armed forces.
Reports suggest that negotiations are underway between representatives of the rebel forces and government officials to find a resolution. The Puntland government is now faced with the task of addressing the concerns of the protesting soldiers to bring a resolution that would ease tensions and allow for the reopening of vital transportation routes.
The echoes of past similar incidents underscore persistent challenges that need attention for a sustainable solution
