Fyr Posted September 27, 2004 Hundreds missing after storms in Somaliland September 27 2004 at 05:56PM Hargeisa - Torrential rains in Somalia's breakaway enclave, Somaliland, have washed away hundreds of huts, with up to 350 nomadic families believed drowned or missing, a regional governor said. Governor Ali Abdi Hurre of Sanaag, the largest region in Somaliland, said 3 600 animals including sheep, camels and donkeys were thought to have drowned over several days of heavy rain on the Siradlei mountains in northern Somalia. "Shelter has been given to those affected in their own areas and a government delegation will visit the areas affected by the stormy rain to assess the situation," he told a news conference late on Sunday. Local businessmen said most of the roads linking the Siradlei mountains to coastal villages and towns were impassable because of flooding and fallen rocks. Sanaag, in the north of war-ravaged Somalia, has suffered three straight years of drought. Hurre said it was difficult to give a precise death toll since there was little news from the remote areas in the mountains where the storms were heaviest. Somaliland, which makes up the northwest of Somalia, declared independence from the rest of the Horn of Africa country in 1991, but is not internationally recognised.
