Clashes kill 5 Somali troops

Jan 22, 2008

 

Five Somali government soldiers have been shot dead after clashes erupted between the troops and a wanted man who has also been killed.

 

Some 40 soldiers attacked the man whom they were searching for a long time. He killed 5 soldiers and wounded 12 others inside his house in Howl Wadaag District and finally was shot dead by other troops, a press TV correspondent reported on Tuesday.

 

Meanwhile hundreds of armed Puntland soldiers with military vehicles and anti aircraft missiles moved to the Sool region to fight with Somaliland soldiers.

 

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991; however, it was not recognized by any other country or international organization.

 

Control over eastern borders of Somaliland is unclear, due to disputes with Puntland and separatist movements.

 

Somaliland continues to claim the entire area of the former British Somaliland.

 

It is currently under the control of the western half of the former British Somaliland, with northeastern Maakhir having declared a separate, unrecognized autonomous state within Somalia on July 1, 2007.

Pro somalia, Makhir counterbalancing somaliland and thereby shattering SL's dream of secession. I soon expecting the Sool and Ceyn declaration of their own new state smile.gif
