HARGEISA (Mareeg)-Somaliland authorities have arrested, Mohamed Mohamud "Indhobur, an MP after he landed in Hargeisa airport, sources said on Friday.




The sources say, the MP from north Somalia has been accused of treason of the national interest of Somaliland. The MP had earlier joined the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia and then to the Somali inclusive parliament.




He became an MP when 200 ARS members joined Somalia's expanded 550-seat parliament.


The MP was once appointed as Somaliland's deputy governor for Sool region but he later left Somaliland.


The breakaway of Somaliland declared its independence from Somalia in 1991 when Gen. Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown by warlords but it has not been internationally recognized yet.
