Baydhabo (Sunatimes) Al-shabab militants now want residents of Baidao district of the Bakol region to register with them whenever they want to leave or come into the town.

Residents of Baidoa district which is a stronghold of Al-Shabaab insurgents are worried about new regulations enforced by the militants.

The orders are meant to restrict the movement of the residents mainly the youth who the militias want to fight for them.

The group imposed the new orders when they realized that many young people fled from Baidoa to Mogadishu for fear of being forcibly recruited by Al Shabaab to fight against the Transitional Federal Government.

The local citizens complained that they might not be able to comply with the new regulations despite a threat from Al-shabab that failure to do so they will be regarded as government supporters.
