ELWAK (RBC) Somalia government forces have reportedly vacated Gusar village, 50 km away from Elwak town of Gedo region, residents told RBC Radio.
The government forces withdrew the village on Saturday afternoon after argument on salaries broke between the forces and their commanders in Elwak town.
The Unpaid soldiers then moved from Gusar to Elwak, a town near Kenya border sources told RBC Radio.
Gusar was among several strategic towns and villages in Gedo region that Somalia government forces and allied Ahlu suna militia seized from Al-Shabab last month.
Reliable sources confirm the fighters of Al-Shabab re-entered Gusar village which is now under their control.
Military officials and the Gedo regional administration officials have nit yet commented on the matter.
The move comes days after the defense minister of Somalia transitional federal government Abdihakim Mahamud Haji Fiqi spent weeks of visit to encourage the military move in the southern regions.
