Somalia: Inter-clan clashes kill two in central region
GALKAYO (Mareeg)—At least two people were killed and several others were wounded in clashes between militias from two rival clans in Bacadweyn village in Mudug region in central Somalia, witnesses said on Sunday.
Residents say the fighting started on Sunday afternoon in the village, where the two militias were confronting each other in recent days.
The clashes were caused by land dispute and long hostilities between the two brotherly clans who reside in Mudug region.
Inter-clan fighting has recently killed 15 people in Amara Village in Mudug region between the clans of Suleyman of sub Habargidir clan and Qubeys of Dir sub clan.
Hawiye clan elders have called immediate cessation of the hostilities between the two clans and urged them to solve their dispute through dialogue.
