Oil edged lower as investors awaited the outcome of the tightly contested U.S. presidential election, with Joe Biden on the brink of claiming a victory. Futures in New York declined less than 1% after bouncing between gains and losses during the session.

Fataahaadda uu Wabiga Shabeelle ka geystay magaalada Baladweyn ayaa timid kadib daadad badan oo ka dhashay roobab saacado badan qaatay oo ka da’ay magaalada. Xaafadaha ay fatahaadda ka dhacday ayaa waxaa kamid ah Buundo Weyn, Xaawo Taako, iyo  Kutimbo, ayadoo biyaha fatahaaddu ay bur buriyeen guryo badan. Waxaa jira dad ku geeriyooday fatahaadda iyo carruur badan oo lagu la’yahay biyaha fatahaada. Dadka reer Baladweyn ayaanan garaneynin meel ay u barakacaan maadaama buuraha waaweyn ee magaalada oo markii hore loo barakici jiray ay hadda degganyihiin Ciidamada Itoobiya.
