Somaliland Vows to Attack Buhoodle
Military officials under the self-declared state of Somaliland vowed to attack Buhodle town in Togdher region,after a week of quietness in the front line between Somaliland forces and clan militia based in the town.
Colonel Abdirashid Dhunkal Hirse, one of Somaliland military officers confirms that his army is advancing towards Buhodle city from 7-Km area to "remove local clan militias". He stated that Somaliland is committed attacking on Buhodle until it fully regains the whole region.
Mr. Hirse rejected the statements from the Puntland leader Abdirahman Farole in which he accused Somaliland of aggression towards Buhodle and elsewhere in the SSC region of northern Somalia. Farole said, “We warn that if Somaliland continues its violent aggressions against Buhodle town that a new civil war might erupt in northern Somalia.'
This statement followed after Somaliland forces launched last week an attack on Buhodle city that left dozens of people dead, including civilians and soldiers from the invading Somaliland army and SSC rebels in Togdher region of northern Somalia
