Inter-clan fighting kills 14
in central Somalia
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - More than a dozen people were
killed and many more were hurt when two clans clashed in central Somalia,
residents and community elders said on Friday.
The Qubeys clan and the Suleyman sub-clan of the
Habargidir clan started fighting the previous day in Amara village, 90 km north
of the pirate base town of Haradheeere. The fight was over a dispute over land
ownership.
“So far we know that 14 people died in the hostilities
between the clans and more than two dozens were injured,” Mohamud Ali an Amara
resident told Reuters by phone.
Abukar Dirshe an elder from the Qubeys clan said the
fighting was sparked by long-standing hostilities over land ownership.
“We failed to reach accord with our neighbour so this
resulted in deaths and still the area is too tense. There might be further
clashes as war preparations are underway in nearby villages,” he said.
