Hargeisa (somalilandpress) - Two persons were killed and around four others were wounded in a land dispute between two sub-clans in Buqdhada, Gebily district. This was a result of a brief fire exchange between members of the two sides yesterday.
Police forces were sent to the area to tackle to situation before it escalates and the traditional leaders of the two sides are initiating a dialogue to solve the problem.
Land disputes are common in Somaliland whether in the cities or outside the urban areas where farmers argue over a piece of land. There is a strict law on the land ownership and disputes in the government level but the Somaliland parliament have been discussing a new law in the past few months.
