Dhusamareb (HOL) - At least ten people were killed and 15 others wounded in inter-clan fighting in the northern part of the Galgaduud region on Monday.
According to residents, the fighting erupted between militias from Abudwak and Heraale districts due to clan revenge and disputes over the area.
Galmudug government forces intervened and managed to halt the gunfire, dispersing the fighting militias. However, fears are mounting as the two militias remain in the areas where the fighting occurred.
Two months ago, a prominent elder named Abdi Dahir Daud was killed in a revenge-related attack in the Lanqeylo area of the Galgaduud region.
The Galgaduud region is known for frequent conflicts related to grazing land and land disputes.
