Ethiopian and Somali troops who were in control of Hudur’s security for over a year left early Wednesday and shortly after, al-Shabaab insurgents moved in capturing the town.
Residents of Hudur had been complaining of the exorbitant prices paid for staple foods due to a siege by al-Shabaab insurgents in the surrounding area. Reports last month stated that the situation was very dire and that residents fled to other districts in the region due to the blockade.
