| At least seven people died and 11 others were wounded Wednesday in clashes between two Somali clan militias in the breakaway Puntland region, officials and elders said. The fighting erupted in a tiny village in the region of Bari over an old land dispute, they said. "The situation is calm for the time being and we have buried four bodies while residents are reporting several other dead bodies," said Abdulahi Shire Mohammad, the commissioner of Ufeynd district. Mohamoud Jama Feytin, a local elder, also said he saw seven dead bodies and 11 wounded, most of them combatants. "We are trying to stem the tensions which so far left seven dead and 11 others wounded, most of them fighters. I hope the situation will become normal," Feytin told AFP by phone. |
