Reports coming from Dhoobley indicate that a clash between the "Isiolo" militias (also referred to as TFG) and Ras Kambooni forces took place in that location on 12/08. The reports suggest that the fighting broke out after some members of the "Isiolo" militias tried to free a number of people from a jail guarded by Ras Kambooni forces. At least one "Isiolo" militiaman died and another two were injured in the fighting. An emergency meeting of officials in the town took place following the clash and the situation calmed down. A pro AS website Somali Memo dedicated an article to the clash and claimed that the anti-AS forces stared engaging in clanic clashes. Although clanic differences between the forces exists it is not clear whether the clash was motivated primarily by clan, politics or personal matters. A local agreement is in place in Dhoobley and establishes that Ras Kambooni is in charge of the administration and policing of the town while the "Isiolo" militias are dedicated to military operations. |
