Dhulbahante/Ali Geri and Barkad sub-clans mobilized their clan militias in an area east of Horufadhi village (43km N of Buhoodle) in the morning of 14/01. The motive of mobilization is unclear but reports indicate that the move followed the sentencing of suspects who hail from these sub-clans to death penalty and jail terms by Sool regional court. Further reports indicate that the militias are planning to kidnap Somaliland government officials or prominent individuals to pressure it to free the Dhulbahante convicts. |
