| Description |
Members of the Galmudug police who were enforcing the curfew in Galkacyo South reportedly clashed with gunmen from the Sa'ad/Nimcaale sub-clan in the night of 24/12. The clash had been reportedly caused by the refusal of a number of local businessmen in the center of Galkacyo South to respect the curfew and to close their shops at night. Casualties are at least of five killed (one police officer, one Sa'ad/Nimcaale, three women selling khat) and 11 injured. The clash lasted only around 20 minutes but the use of heavy machine gun explains the relative high number of casualties. |
