The Muslims fled the place after Crusaders & and their suufi pets captured the town.
So for the muslims it is compulsory to leave a city when enemy enters it if that is the only way (when resistance is not possible).
99% of ceelbuur citizens fled to other cities within the Wilaayada Islaamiga ee Galgaduud.
When the muslims left the city, it came under strict siege. Any soldier that leaves the city, is killed by the muqawamah waiting for the enemy to ambush them.
