Clan festivities injure eight in central Somalia
2007-01-26
(SomaliNet) At least eight people have been injured in clashes with restarted in central Somalia between two local tribal militias, reports say on Thursday. The confrontation happened at the borderline of Hiran and Galgadud regions in central Somalia where opposing clans of Hawadle and Murursade of Hawiye tribe again clashed. The rival clan militias fought around Gobo settlement on the borderline after Ethiopian troops withdrew from the area two days before.

Both sides have been fighting over pastoral lands and water well. At least 80 people have died since the fighting between the two tribes began. Reports from Muqokori in Hiran province indicate that at least 8 persons who were wounded in the tribal war were brought to the tiny village for treatment. Tribal elders in Hiran said they were committed to play positive roles in soothing the inconsistency between the two warring clans.

They could apply the Darfurian solution - burn the land and poison the well.
