Burao: Sunatimes- Somaliland security officials have taken members of the Sol Sanag and Ayn rebel group to Burao. The group’s fighters previously clashed with Somaliland fighters in the Wid-wid district in the Ayn region.

Somaliland, which is a break away region of Somalia, is fighting with rebel group that wants the Sol, Sanaga and Ayn regions. Somaliland claims parts of them as its territory and to be a semi-autonomous region.

Reports from Burao’s main hospital indicate that there are two members of Somaliland forces who have been treated from injuries after fighting with the SSC rebels.

Both Somali fighters and the rebels claimed victory after they clashed in Wid-Wid district, and in other regions that are under the administration of the district.

Local citizens who live where the two groups have clashed have already fled fearing that the two groups might clash again, although the fighting has stopped.
