Somaliland has vowed to act decisively against armed rebels who were responsible for the deaths of 9 soldiers last week.
Last week, an armed gang raided the mountainous region of Ga’an Libaah killing nine soldiers in the process and injuring many others.
President Muse Bihi Abdi of Somaliland made this vow on Sunday while attending the burial of the slain soldiers in Hargeisa.
Bihi told mourners that his administration would hold accountable all those responsible for the murder in whichever way.
In his address, he also addressed the Las Anod conflicts.
Bihi mentioned that the opening up of political contest to more parties created the grounds for clashes to flare up in Las Anod.
