Somaliland: 4 killed in election-day skirmish

 

(AP) – 1 day ago

 

HARGEISA, Somalia — Officials in Somaliland say a voting-day skirmish killed four people in a contested area of the self-declared republic.

 

The election board says a militia from neighboring Puntland region tried to raid a polling station in an area claimed by Somaliland and Puntland. Officials said late Saturday the disturbance forced them to close 34 stations early in that area.

 

The International Republican Institute, a U.S. observer group, said Sunday their observers found few voting irregularities in the region.

 

Three men ran for president of the region, a haven of relative peace in northwest Somalia that declared its independence in 1991. Somaliland has its own security and police forces, justice system and currency, but is not recognized by any other state.

"Out of the 213 polling stations designated for Sool and Buhodle regions, 34 sites mainly in small and remote villages apart from Buhodle town did not vote."

 

So 85% of Sool and Buhoodle has voted.
