Somali forces in the Puntland region have launched intense operations against Islamic State (ISIS) militants, regaining key territories from their control. The offensive comes as part of Somalia’s broader effort to eliminate terrorist groups that have long destabilized the region. Despite facing resistance, government forces have made significant progress in weakening ISIS strongholds.
The conflict, however, remains challenging, with militants using guerrilla tactics and local populations suffering the consequences of war. Authorities are calling for continued international support to strengthen security, rebuild affected areas, and prevent future insurgencies. The need for lasting peace and stability in Somalia remains urgent.
- Pray for an end to terrorism and violence so that communities can live in peace and security (The Bible, Isaiah 32:18).
- Pray for civilians who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods due to conflict, that they may find hope and restoration (The Bible, Joel 2:25).
