Somaliland says battle killed 3 fighters

[Hiiraan boy]

By Hussein Ali Noor

HARGEISA, Somalia, Sept 17 (Reuters) - At least three fighters have been killed in a battle between militias loyal to the rival administrations of Somaliland and Puntland, officials in Somaliland said on Monday.

Somaliland broke away from the rest of Somalia in 1991, and relations with the authorities in Mogadishu and the neighbouring semi-autonomous Puntland region have often been stormy.

"Forces loyal to the regional administration of Puntland attacked community forces loyal to Somaliland ... south of Las Anod yesterday afternoon," Somaliland's justice minister, Ahmed Hassan Asowe, told a news conference in Hargeisa on Monday.

There was no immediate response from Puntland officials, and residents said the border area was quiet on Monday.

Abdillahi Ali Ebrahim, Somaliland's defence minister, said three combatants had died. He did not give details, but said fighters from Puntland backed by trucks mounted with heavy guns had been "harassing" local militias for the last four days.

Local elders told Reuters the gun battle was apparently triggered by the defection to Somaliland of a group of militia fighters previously loyal to the Puntland administration.

Somaliland has been relatively more peaceful than the rest of Somalia in recent years. It wants sovereignty on the grounds it was briefly separate after independence in 1960, then joined the former Italian colony of Somalia to form the modern state.

dhulos on dhulos violence

[Luq_Ganane]

Horta, it seems fights in the North are really just little gun battles. Reer Koonfured when they go at it, they really go at it. Lakin in the north, a couple of teenagers baa rasaas iska ridaayo, and all the sudden its a battle fo the ages.

Luq,

Saxiib, there were severe civil wars in Somaliland. The worst was in 95 where over 10,000 were killed.

Nowdays, the appetite for war has decreased.

[Luq_Ganane]

^^

10,000.

Are those the famous "Qamadi" wars I keep hearing about, and was it really over qamadi?

[Phd in naago kudis]

tru abdi wahab

there were deadly habar on habar violence in 1992,1995

today we live in peace

this little battles are dhulo on dhulo today

luq qanna the one you talkin about happend just this yera

you fockin retard

[AbdiWahab252]

Luq,

Saxiib, the Qamadi wars were little nothing than nomads

It was the war between Igaal and Abdirahman Tuur.

The fighting was ferocious and pitted the Habar Awal, Gadabursi, and others vs. the Garxajis.

[Luq_Ganane]

^^

Wow. Didn't know. Habar on Habar violence is never good.

[Midhisho]

its a lie it was never a war over qamadi , but about wells and territory control , nowadays nomads tend to be more connected to their territories and stay longer here and there.

" “At least 39 people have been killed in four days of inter-clan fighting in Daroor, a remote township in the Somali Zone Five region of Ethiopia, local sources said. The region is near the border with Somalia's self-declared northeastern republic of Somaliland. The clashes pitted the Habar Yonis against the Idagaale after the two sub-clans disagreed over the construction of a water reservoir in the area. Both are from the Garhaajis clan,

Its a typical doofaar faqash lie that they fought over qamadi .
