Puntland authorities have given residents near the Baallade valley seven days to leave, citing efforts to block alleged militant supplies.
Officials say some villagers, including those in Tasjiic, are suspected of trading with ISIS-linked fighters and providing food, livestock or other materials.
Security forces recently arrested several people accused of transporting goods to militants in Baallade valley, including individuals linked to bomb-making activities.
Community elders say drought and economic hardship prevent families from relocating and insist residents have no ties to ISIS-linked groups in Puntland.
Elders urge authorities to pursue specific suspects rather than ordering mass displacement, saying the directive worsens hardship and threatens vulnerable communities’ stability and safety.
