The major problem the town faced while under the control of al Shabaab was the arbitrary arrests. This season, there are no crops coming from the farms because of the drought, so we request for urgent humanitarian assistance to bring us food and also to the villages around Tiyeeglow”.

The Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed has appealed for urgent humanitarian assistance for the people of town of Tiyeeglow, in Bakool region, recently recaptured from Al-Shabaab militants.
He visited Tiyeeglow Thursday (4 Sep), accompanied by the Somali Defense Minister Mohamed Sheikh Hassan Hamud, Heritage and Higher Education Minister Duale Aden Mohamed, Commerce Minister Aden Mohamed Nur and the Head of the Somali Military Court Col. Abdirahman Mohamed Turyare.
The delegation met and held discussions with senior AMISOM officials led by the AMISOM Ethiopian troops commander Brig. Gen Gebremedhin Fikadu.
Tiyeeglow is located approximately 530 km North-east of the capital Mogadishu and lies along the main road from Baidoa to Beletweyne and further to the central regions in Somalia connecting the south to the north of the country. Al-Shabaab used to impose heavy taxation on vehicles plying the route as part of their illegal extortion racket in Somalia.
The town was liberated over a week ago by AMISOM Ethiopian troops.
