Over 24 days of clashes in Las Anod town of Somalia's breakaway Somaliland region leaves more than 200 people dead and some 200,000 families displaced, says a local official
Violence erupted after elders in the Sool region, where Las Anod is located, issued a statement pledging support for Somalia's federal government
"The fighting started on the 6th of February 2023 and continued for 24 days," he said, adding that 200,000 families had fled from their homes following the clashes. The violence erupted after elders in the Sool region, where Las Anod is located, issued a statement pledging support for Somalia's federal government and urged Somaliland authorities to withdraw their soldiers from the area.The fighting has caused widespread damage across the town, including to its electricity and water supply, said Ismail.
Local resident Hassan Sahal described Las Anod as "a war zone" with just a "few families" left. "If the fighting continues, I don't think people other than those fighting will stay in the town," he told AFP news agency. It "brought a stop to activities in the paediatrics ward and blood bank... now the needed blood supply is no longer available for the newly-arrived wounded," Djoen Besselink, MSF country representative for Somalia and Somaliland, said in a statement on Wednesday.
