Saldhiga la weeraray waxaa uu ku yaala xeebta, waxaana uu u dhowyahay xuduudka Soomaaliya. Weerarka waxaa uu kusoo aaday labo maalmood kaddib markii diyaaradaha Maraykanka ee aan duuliyaha lahayni ay amar ku bixiyeen in la dilo Jeneral Qasem Soleimani oo ahaa sarkaal sare oo u dhashay dalka Iran, balse warbixin ay daabacday jariirada New York Times ayaa tilmaantay in ciidamada Mareykanka ay ku qaadatay ku dhawaad saacad in ay ka jawaabaan weerarka.
