A national staff working with an INGO in Sanaag Region was attacked and shot by unknown gunmen in his hotel room in Xudun in the evening of 18/11. The man was reportedly carrying cash from Ceerigaabo to Laas Caanood to allow implementation of humanitarian activities in that second location. The staff sustained a bullet injury in the arm and was transferred to the Ceerigaabo hospital where he recovered from his wound. The money he was transporting was stolen. The security situation in Xudun may be currently precarious due to the presence of local Dhulbahante/Naleye Ahmed militias that had recently been integrated in Somaliland forces but for which the payment of salaries was suspended on 23/10 due to a dispute with their hierarchy. The security in Xudun is currently in the hand of the elders from the Naleye Ahmed sub-clan. |

A large number (possibly at least 30) of Ethiopian military vehicles including transport trucks and armored vehicles crossed the Ethiopia-Somalia border in the morning of 19/11 through the village of Balambale. A large part of these forces proceeded south towards Guri-Ceel where they settled temporarily around 10km north of that town. The forces were said to be waiting for the completion of a military camp 6km south of Guri-Ceel. Rumors from Guri-Ceel indicate that the camp may be used for the training of several thousand ASWJ militiamen. The Spokesman of the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry denied that any Ethiopian forces had entered Somalia. |

A serious incident was reported at a food distribution site in the Kaaraan District Office on 20/11. The food had been donated by Saudi Arabia and Turkey and handed over to the Ministry of Interior and the District administration of Kaaraan for distribution. It was escorted to the site by TFG PS forces (armed NSA). The incident started with an argument between DC and PS forces that led to a shooting. District militias (Abgal/Da'ud) and other local clan militias then started stealing the food, triggering a general looting involving local residents and IDPs. The militias involved in the looting are supporters of Mr. Abdullahi Mohamed Roble, former DC of Kaaraan and recently sentenced by a TFG military court to 10 years imprisonment after being accused of aid diversion. The incident may have been triggered in response to the speech of the TFG Prime Minister made in Badbaado camp the day before and condemning people responsible of aid diversion. One young boy was killed and two other civilians were injured. The whole food consignment (four trucks) was lost. |
