Calm has returned to the Las Anod town, just a day after large demonstration against the administration of the breakaway republic of Somaliland happened in the town on Saturday, witnesses told Shabelle radio on Sunday.
Large riot organized by the more people including women and children had happened at Las Anod town in Sol region yesterday which caused more casualties of deaths and injures as it continued in the town.
At least 2 demonstrators were killed and 5 of the security forces were injured in the town as the demonstration continued in Las Anod town in Sol region.
Reports from the town say that the demonstration started as most of the people in the town had infuriated the activities of the security forces of the region who detained more people including teachers operating schools in the town.
Locals said that the calm situation was unreliable saying that hundreds of people are ready to make another riot against the administration of Somaliland in the town once again adding that there were also more police forces deployed to the town to assure the security.
We had tried to contact with the security officials of the Somaliland in the Sol region to know more about the disagreement between the people and the administration, but it was too difficult to get them through the telephone.
The tense situation of the town comes as several members and ministers of Somaliland had reached at the town recently which caused the situation to be chaos and as there is no comment from the officials of the region so far.
