Borama (Sunatimes) The police has shot dead one civilian in Borama town of Somaliland in Somalia’s northern breakaway republicon Thursday after unrest protest against the Somaliland government , witnesses said.

Hundreds of Borama’s people from Somalia’s Gadabirsi clan took to the streets of the town chanting anti Somaliland government slogans and opposing the domination of one clan power (Isaaq) in the administration and region’s segregation from the rest of the country.

The latest upraising came after the Somaliland government failed to arrest some of their soldiers who killed three people from Gadabirsi clan in Seemaal village near Borama town three days ago.

“We don’t want a government of Isaaq, we want greater Somalia, we feel injustice and humiliation inside Somaliland,” the protestors said in loudly voice waving the Somali flag (blue with white star in the center).

The government was accused of hunting down the people from this clan who are in favor of the creation of Awdal State in which Gadabirsi Diaspora community established as independent administration from Somaliland.

The protestors also showed their total support of the Awdal State as the Borama people now seem to be intolerant to what they called ‘one clan government’ and this might lead into possible civil war.

Meanwhile ,There is no freedom of Speech in Somaliland as the government continues oppression on the independent Journalists such as arresting and torture . on Tuesday the Somaliland administration arrested the Chairman of the Somaliland’s Journalists Association ( SOLJA) Mr Hassan Mohamed Yusuf who is now in the jail with out trial.
