Xudeedi Posted August 3, 2005 For the last two years, this region's security has deteriorated so much that it seems irreversible, the root cause being family feuds and clan conflicts. The BBC Somali Service took an effort to interview the Police Chief of the region Gacamey as to why insecurity and ceaseless killings have stalled in almost all of the localities of Mudug region. He pointed out some groups he described as the main malefactors who plot schemes in part to incite hostility among families based on unresolved issues and past grievances. According to his statement, he seems to have identified some of the men under suspicion by accusing them of associating the region with evil notoriety. I wonder if his grasp of the puzzle would lead to a clannish profiling reinforcing the successive incidents that engulfed the region. Just yesterday, a group of young men detached from the Puntland Marines installed militia check points, not for the first time but have done innumerable times as an expression of discontent with their pittance. It seems when the regional administration orders either the killing of such men, striving to make their ends meet, or their arrest for disrupting the security, the families in whose men were killed or incarcerated, upon befalling unbearable anguish, condemn the act of the administration and vow for revenge, thereby turning the whole situation into chaotic and unlivable state. I find the current security in Mudug compelling and very much fearsome. What should Puntland administration as well as the locals and the autonomous clans do for a solution??
