| Farmers and pastoralists clash in Central Somalia |
| 2010-11-11 |
| [Daily Nation (Kenya)] Two clan militias clashed near Jowhar town, 90 kilometres north of Mogadishu, in Central Somalia, killing two warriors and wounding five others yesterday. The armed militias came from pastoralist and farming communities respectively in dispute over animal grazing. Those injured were reportedly taken to the general hospital in Jowhar town, 18 kilometres away from the scene of the confrontations. Elders from the farming communities are complaining that the pastoralists who are unsettled nomads are forcing their way to the farms so that their animals feed on plantations and crops. The pastoralists, however, blame the dry season as pasture and animal feed are fast depleting. |
