More than hundred people staged a demonstration in front of Sheikh police station on 07/02 in protest against the arrest of a group of elders by Somaliland authority. The arrest of elders followed after local clan militias clashed with Somaliland police in the previous day in Qarasgoy mountain over a land dispute and the government is trying to put pressure on the elders to surrender the escaped gunmen. Reports indicate that an ongoing construction belonging to a Kuwaiti foreign investor has been suspended following the armed clash, arrest of elders and subsequent demonstration. The rally ended peacefully. |
