Al-Shabab movement in Somalia have refuted they had a meeting with any government officials in Hudur.

Local media reports suggested Al-Shabab met with government administration in Hudur.

But, a statement on their website, warned local media against spreading this news describing it as baseless.

Shabab refused to recognize the results of the peace accord signed between the Somali government and the alliance for the re-liberation of Somalia, insisting that peace is impossible as long as Ethiopian forces are in Somalia.
