Uproar in Somaliland over Treatment of Prisoners of War in Las Anod

There is anger in Somaliland over the treatment of prisoners of war from the country in Las Anod.

Several Somaliland soldiers were captured in Las Anod on August 25.

Reports reaching Hargeisa indicate that their captors have not been taking good care of them.

Videos and images have emerged showing the soldiers being tortured.

Some have already lost their lives.

Somaliland has urged the captors to abide by the dictates of the 3rd Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs).
