| Description |
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. |
