Hundreds flee inter-clan clashes in Somaliland

[Adan_1]

Hargaysa(IRIN) - Hundreds of families in Somalia's self-declared republic of Somaliland have fled inter-clan fighting in the mid-west Satiile area in Gabiley region, officials said.

The fighting, the second flare-up in three months, started on 7 April after a group of men drove into Satiile settlement area and shot dead a local farmer and wounded his brother.
Ahmed-Bare Sa’id Kibar, a village elder in Satiile, said at least 200 families had fled from Xar-Makahiil, Dacawalay, Laaca, Maslayaha, Jaldhaabta and Satiile farmland settlements to Adado Dhaadheeray, Kalabaid. Some of the families had fled to Gabiley, the region's capital, he added.
Elabe Mohamoud Hufane, the deputy mayor of Dilla District in Awdal region, said: "We received reports mid-morning yesterday that a man, identified as Ahmed Yasin Kule, had been shot dead on his farm while his brother survived and managed to flee.
"We went there to calm the situation with the district police; we were told the men who shot dead Ahmed Yasin were from Elberdale area in the north, where a land-based conflict had started some time ago."
In late February, two men were shot dead following inter-clan fighting between the Reer Hared of Gabiley region and the Reer Nour of Awdal region. The conflict dates back to 1998 when the clans confronted each other over the war between the Somali National Movement (Somaliland's liberation organisation in 1981-1991) and the army, which was loyal to the late Mohamed Siyad Barre, then Somali president. At the time, the Reer Nour supported Barre while Reer Hared supported the liberation movement.
Over the past two decades, attempts to reconcile the two were made and a ceasefire agreed but the issue has since transformed into a land conflict, focusing on a farming development project founded by Sheikh Muhumed Rage in the late 1950s.
After the February clashes, a committee from Somaliland's upper house of parliament, the Guurti, toured the region. The committee was also in the area when the latest clashes erupted, according to Hufane.
"We met several dozen families fleeing to Dilla District, and we spoke to them urging them not to flee but they went ahead saying they feared for their security," Hufane said.

This could have been prevented if the government had not created a new Gabiley region. Gabiley should have never been given gobal status.

i think the problem is samaroons also live in gabiley and its shared by sacad muse and samaroons but how come sacad muse people say gabiley belongs only to them?

[abdikarim86]

sacad muuse and samaroon inhabit the most densly populated part of s/land

Thats focked up two clans who are very similar and intermarry are fighting, the only thing that makes them different is that one are samaroon and the other are Isaaq.

Waxaa maanta ka bilaabmay degaanka Ceelbardaale iyo Gebilay u dhexeeya dagaal dhexmaray labada beelood ee Reer Nuur (Samaroon) iyo Reer Xareed (Sacad Muuse) ee isku hor fadhiyay deegaanka Gabiley. Dagaalkan oo ilaa iminka keenay dhimasho labada dhinacba ku timid, waxaana ilaa iminka dadka ku dhintay ee lasoo xaqiijiyay ku jira Allaha ha u naxariistee Cabdi Cali Xirsi oo ka mid ahaa halgamayaashii ururkii SNM.

Magaalada Hargeisa ayaa aad looga dareemay dhaqdhaqaaqa dagaalkani keenay, ilaa iminkana waxaa bilaabmay gurmad ay wadaan Salaadiin, Odayaal iyo wax garad iyagu iska abaabulay Haregisa, kuwaas oo ku talo jira sidii ay u kala qaboojin lahaayeen dagaalkaa ka dhex furmay labadan beelood ee walaalaha ah.

Mushkilada dhextaala labadan reerood, ayaa u ekayd mid mudooyinkii danbe soo afjarmaysay, ka dib markii wafti golaha guurtida ahi ku tageen deegaanka Gabiley ee dagaalku ka socdo. In mudo ahna halkaa ku heshiisiinayeen labadaa beelood ee Reer Nuurka iyo Jibriil Abokor.

Dad badan oo caasimada ku dhaqan ayaa walaac ka muujinaya wakhtiga dagaalkani bilaabmay, kuwaas oo dhamaantood farta ku godaya Hogaamiyaha Xisbiga UDUB Mr Riyaale, oo ay tuhmayaan in isagu ka danbeesay iska hor imaadka shaqaaqadan. Iyaga oo taa ku sababeenaya in dhacdada dagaalkan ka dhex abuurmayna labada beelood tahay mid uu doonayo in uu qiil ugu sameeyo kordhintii dhawaan guurtidu ugu kordhisay mudada lixda bilood. Taas oo qodobka guurtida u sharciyeenayaa mudo kordhiska yahayin dalka aanay nabadi ka jirin. Dhinaca kale, warar aan kale helnay ilo kale duwan ayaa sheegaya in marwada Hogaamiyaha Xisbiga UDUB Marwo Hudo Barkhad intii aanu dagaalkani qarxin socdaal ugu tagtay deegaanka Gabiley, walina lama cadayn waxa socdaalkeedu la xidhiidhay.

Wararku waxay sheegayaan in afar qof tahay tirada ilaa imika ku dhimatay dagaaladaas.

Wixii faah faahina ee la xidhiidha arinan waxa aan idinku soo gudbin doonaa dib hadii alaha eeba lihi idmo.

This is a different story I have read and it doesn't say anything about families fleeing. Anyway Reer Xareed (HA) and Reer Nuur (Samaroon) are closely related and therefore should live together peacefully.
Btw this isn't a war of two clans, but just some skirmishes between a couple of geeljires.
