notes: AS militias were reported to have launched an attack against Beer-Gadiid on the main road from Belet Weyne to Matabaan/Dhusamareeb on 23/12. The village is usually occupied by a small group of militias of the Shabelle Valley State (SVS) manning a taxation check-point on the main tarmac road. AS militias briefly took control of the village and left a few hours later without a fight. A local resident from Hawadle clan was reportedly killed.
