A Somaliland minister has accused Somalia of being behind the instability in the Sool region.
Ali Hassan Mohamed Marehaan, who is the Minister of Water Development, blamed Somalia for causing the instability that has rocked Sool for much of this year.
He said that Somalia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs continues to play a major role in destabilizing Sool.
Marehaan stated that the Somaliland government would not tolerate the continued interference by Somalia in the region.
Clashes between Somaliland forces and local militia in Sool have lasted since the end of last year.
Marehaan added that the administration of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud submitted inaccurate and biased reports plus documents to the United Nations blaming Somaliland for the Sool instability.
