Suldaanka Posted October 29, 2004 HARGEISA, Somalia, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Fighting broke out on Friday between the armies of the rival Somali territories of Puntland and Somaliland following weeks of growing tension after a former Puntland warlord was elected Somalia's new president. Fighters from the breakaway northern enclave of Somaliland fought forces from Puntland's regional administration at the village of Adi-Addeye, about 30 km (20 miles) north of Las Anod, a flashpoint during previous flare-ups between the two armies. Somaliland Minister of Information Abdillahi Mohamed Du'ale said 22 Puntland fighters had been captured but there no immediate word on casualties. Somaliland Defence Minister Ismail Aden Boss told Reuters: "Forces loyal to the (Puntland) regional administration attacked Somaliland Security forces from three sides, with heavy weapons around 9.00 a.m." He added Puntland had been reinforcing its forces in Las Anod for "some time". Puntland and Somaliland have fought sporadic clashes for years over several eastern areas of Somaliland that Puntland's leaders claim as their own on the basis of ethnicity. Tensions between the two regions rose sharply after lawmakers elected warlord and Puntland political boss Abdullahi Yusuf as president of Somalia at national peace talks held in neighbouring Kenya on Oct. 10. Many in Somaliland see Yusuf as their arch foe, accusing him of instigating the clashes between Puntland and Somaliland. On Oct. 12 the Somaliland government warned Yusuf against any attempted aggression and said it was on alert against any move to reunite Somaliland with the rest of Somalia. Somaliland, a former British protectorate on the Gulf of Aden, declared independence from anarchic Somalia in 1991 and has since enjoyed relative peace, but is unrecognised internationally. Puntland broke away from Somalia in 1998 to escape the militia anarchy of southern and central Somalia. It also is not recognised internationally. The territory of 3.5 million to 4.5 million won independence from Britain in 1960 and quickly joined neighbouring ex-Italian Somalia in the south and east to form a united republic. But an uprising against Somali dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in the 1980s was followed by years of devastation as he turned his forces against the northwestern enclave. When Siad Barre fled the country in 1991, Somaliland split away. The rest of Somalia slid into lawlessness and clan-based factional conflict which is still continuing. The independence of the normally peaceful enclave has never been recognised by the international community, something which rankles with many ordinary people and the government. Local media reports said, without elaborating, that both sides were using heavy weapons and that the sound of fighting was heard in Las Anod. In September three people were killed and four wounded in a previous flare-up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coloow Posted October 29, 2004 Suldaanka, as a muslim somali, I am concerned by the aimless war of warmongerers. These poor soldiers on both sides of this ****** conflict are probably fasting. In this holly month of ramadaan, at least the warmongerers should have postponded with their evil plans. I am concerned too that this website is becoming a hub for tribally based articles. Whenever, there is a conflict, ppl copy and paste articles without reading the sources, the importance of the news etc. I was reading an article on this board by someone who listed the names/tribes of those said to have been captured. I was naive into believing that SOL was free from the tribe-plague- but I was obviously wrong. Ramadaan kariim and let us show some restraint . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suldaanka Posted October 29, 2004 Caagil true that brother There are prisoners both sides but it is despicable to publish the names or even the tribes of the prisoners. It is well below the belt to have the prisoner card as as a propaganda tool. How low can they get? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted October 29, 2004 Allah! This is bad, this is very bad! These people have lost it walahi; to fight over stup*d borders in the finaly days of the blessed Month. Have they no regard for their Islam or their people: The blood and honoure of a Muslim is forbidden, why do Somalis find that soo difficult to grasp *akhas* Allahuma jacalahu khayr.

A New Born Posted October 29, 2004 From what i heard .. Adhi Adeye IS populated and inhabited by kinsmen who belong to MIGHTY Mogadishu kinsmen. If the frontline doesent move either towards Las Anood or towards Buroa in the comming hours... We´ll have to dispatch Mogadishu Militia to SAVE our kinsmen. Maybe just Maybe that is what it takes to make peace up there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiilo Posted October 29, 2004 Waxaa Cajaa'ib ah in dad Somaali ah illaa hadda Niyah iyo Hamiba u hayaan "Dagaal" Runtii aniga aad iyo aad ayaan oga xumahay, mana jecli in aan maqlo Soomaaliya aa dagaal ka dhacay. Ka fakar dhibaatooyinka ka imaanaya dagaalka, inta dad ee ku dhimaneysa, ku gurya beeleysa. Dhinac kasta ka eeg, dagaalka waa dhib aan dhamaanin. Allaah waxaan ka baryayaa in uu Dagaalka joojiyo ummadda Soomaaliyedna is jecleysiiyo meel walba oo ay joogaan. Runtii this morning markii aan maqlay dagaal ayaa ka dhacay Laascaanood, runtii meel ayaa i xanuuntay mana garayo sida dareenkeygu yahay illaa hadda. Allaah ha joojiyo dagaalka.........Intii ku dhimatayna Allaah ha u naxariisto. Runtii waa dhib, hadda iyo dagaal cusub, may Allaah stop those who are willing to kill their brothers and sisters. Illaahayoo dhibka iyo dagaalkaba naga saar. Aamiin Aamiin. Wabillaahi Towfiiq: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
