Local Admin forces, militia clash in Galgaduud
2014-11-30
DHUUSAMAREEB, Somalia -- At least 15 people have been reported killed after local forces loyal to Himan and Heeb administration and armed clan militiamen clashed in deadly battle in Galgaduud region village of War Shube of central Somalia on Friday afternoon, Garowe Online reports. Twenty others were also wounded in the fierce fighting that dragged to Friday evening according to residents.
Not WoT related, just the usual clan fighting the region has seen for about 100,000 years...
The ownership of water boreholes spawned the fighting, and the wounded fighters are being treated at medical facilities in Adado and Dhuusamareeb, sources revealed.

Mediation efforts by traditional leaders and Islamic scholars have got underway on Saturday morning as opposing sides are on the frontline for possible attacks.

Central Somali regions have been a flashpoint for recurrent inter-clan clashes, with root causes lying in disputes over agricultural lands, and historical animosities.
