Somalia: one dead and 71 injured in clashes

Clashes erupted near Baidoa, resulting in one civilian death and 71 injuries, including 15 women. Government forces were attacked by fighters loyal to Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen, the former president of the South-West State, with the presumed involvement of al-Shabaab. These violent events occur amid political tensions over control of the region, following federal forces taking Baidoa on March 30.
