The Qandala campaign began when the Islamic State in Somalia (ISS) attacked and captured the town of Qandala in Bari, Puntland, Somalia on 26 October 2016. This takeover resulted in the displacement of over 25,700 civilians and an eventual counter-offensive by the Puntland Security Force, which succeeded in driving ISS from Qandala on 7 December, and thereafter government units continued to attack the militants' hideouts in the nearby mountains until 18 December. The fall of Qandala was the second time that an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)-affiliated group had captured a town in Somalia, but whereas the first takeover had lasted only for a very short time, ISS had managed to hold Qandala, a town of both major strategic as well as symbolic importance, for over a month.

  • A campanha de Qandala começou quando o Estado Islâmico na Somália atacou e capturou a cidade de em Puntlândia em 26 de outubro de 2016. Esta aquisição resultou no deslocamento de mais de 25.700 civis e uma posterior contraofensiva pelas Forças de Segurança de Puntlândia, que conseguiu repelir o Estado Islâmico de Qandala em 7 de dezembro e, por conseguinte, as unidades do governo continuaram a atacar os esconderijos dos militantes nas montanhas próximas até o dia 18 de dezembro. A queda de Qandala marcou a segunda vez que um grupo afiliado ao Estado Islâmico capturou uma cidade na Somália, mas enquanto a primeira aquisição durou apenas por um período muito curto, o Estado Islâmico conseguiu manter Qandala, uma cidade de grande importância estratégica bem como simbólica, por mais de um mês (pt)
