| Description |
A delegation of Puntland composed of several ministers, MPs and prominent elders including Sultan Said Mohamed Garase reached Buuhoodle on Tuesday 29/03. The delegation was reportedly welcomed by local supporters but according to several medias also had to face a small demonstration in favor of Somaliland. Protesters were urging the delegation to leave back to Garowe and are said to have temporarily seized one of its vehicles. This visit intervened immediately after a delegation of the UK visited Garowe and met with traditional elders of Buuhoodle. The visitors from Puntland declared that the aim of their visit was to assess the drought situation in Buuhoodle and look at the food aid that is being provided by the UAE. |
