Two groups of Somali forces clashed in Doonka Weynow Village (12km N of Afgooye) in the evening of 05/11. The fighting erupted when troops led by the area commander of Somali forces arrived in the area to destroy illegal checkpoints that lie on the road between Afgooye and Wanla-Weyne reportedly manned by SNG soldiers. The soldiers on the checkpoint who reportedly received some reinforcement from their clansmen reacted with gunfire. The commander and his troops defeated the group who then fled towards the road to Jowhar. The soldiers also removed the road-blocks left behind by the group. Five combatants were killed in the clash. |
