Galmudug and Northeastern State Authorities Broker Peace to Halt Conflict in Mudug Region

Garowe (AX) – Officials from the Galmudug and Northeastern State regions have successfully gathered two feuding clan militias, putting a halt to the lethal clashes in Mudug.

Galmudug’s Security Minister Mohamed Adan Gabobe disclosed on Friday that Galmudug presidential forces have been sent to the trouble spots. He mentioned that Northeastern State’s presidential troops will soon bolster them to maintain order and thwart further strife.

The clans chose 13 elders each to compose peace squads meant to brainstorm ways to cease the unrest in Mudug’s western areas. Gabobe sounded hopeful about mending the rift between the communities.

“We agreed that post-meeting, mayors from both territories must handle their districts, with troops detaining those responsible for the violence,” stated the security minister.

Last week’s inter-clan skirmish claimed nearly 30 lives and left over 50 injured in rural territory between Goldogob and Saah Qurun in Mudug. The conflict arose from a land quarrel involving Sa’ad and Lelakase sub-clan militias.
