An armed group from Dhulbahante/Mohamoud Ugaadhyahan sub clan reportedly shot and injured one of their fellow clansman elders in Saalax Dheer village (59km S of Laas Caanood) on 31/10. This happened when the local elders arrived in Saalax Dheer village on mission to persuade the return of their defected clan militias with battle wagon from Somaliland forces based in Xudun to Saalax Dheer on 28/10. Stray bullets reportedly injured an elder from Dhulbahante/Barkad sub clan who was admitted to Galkacyo Hospital. The reason behind the defection of the soldiers is believed to be the mobilization of one of the Khatumo ministers who hails from same sub clan to the soldiers. |
