In the remote al-Miskad mountains of Somalia, a group of soldiers are tracking Islamic State group fighters using drone feeds, as part of a larger effort to root out the militant group from the region. The Puntland Defence Forces, with support from the US, have made significant gains in degrading IS's ability to stage attacks in Somalia. However, experts warn that IS-Somalia remains a resilient organization, capable of recovering and regrouping from losses, and continues to play a critical role in providing resources and support to other Islamic State affiliates. The fight against IS in Somalia is ongoing, with soldiers facing harsh conditions and uncertainty, but remaining determined to clear the land of the militant group. The military campaign has already led to the capture of several foreign fighters and the killing of hundreds of IS members, but the road to victory remains long and challenging.
