Clan War

[Zak Jingo]

BELEDWEYNE (HOL) –At least four people have been killed in ongoing clashes between two rival clan militias in the central Somali town of Beledweyne, witnesses said Tuesday.

The fighting involving Galje’el and Jajele clans’ militiamen erupted in Howlwadaag neighborhood followed two separate killings of two men by attackers suspected to be from the two sides this week.

“I saw four dead bodies; the number of causalities may increase.” One witness told HOL by phone.

Militiamen from the two clans have also clashed over control of pastureland in the town late last year.

The number of causalities from the two warring sides so far remains unclear, however, witnesses reported chaotic scenes in the town as the two sides exchanged shelling and gunfire as government and African Union forces in the town watched from afar.

Clan rivalry and civil unrest started in the horn of Africa after warlords overthrew the central government in 1991, leading to a perpetual civil strife that have since killed thousands of Somalis.

I blame the government. They had ample warning about these scuffles but they decided to turn a blind eye to it and now we have a clan war yet again. This could have been prevented with something as simple as a borehole and some seeds to each clan, total cost $5000. No one should have to fight for pasture during a drought.

 

[King-of-GODEEY]

There should be a cultural shift to Agropastoralism. No more worrying about Droughts

Look how thirsty these motherfuckers look for the blood of other Somalis? Amisom soldiers raping their daughters and sisters will not be met with this same response of violence and murder spree!

Hopefully, the casualties increase exponentially.

I have never heard of these clans but this fighting over some small patch of arid dirt is depressing and pointless.

 

[Mckenzie]
