[Jacaylbaro]

HARGEISA, Somaliland, June 7 (QRN) - Security forces in a northern Somaliland republic arrested two Westerners on Saturday thought to be surveyors working for a Canadian mining company, government officials said.

 

Somaliland's Defence Minister Abdillahi Ali Ibrahim said the two men had entered the country illegally and had been detained in Las Qorey district, Eastern Sanag region, with four Somalis.

 

"I will not be revealing the identity or nationality of the two Caucasians at present," Ibrahim told reporters. "I will only say that they were travelling in a car and are believed to have been surveying minerals in the area." The four Somalis were all from neighbouring Puntland, he said, all six men were being taken to the Sanag capital Erigabo.

 

Government sources said the two Westerners were believed to be employees of a Canadian company hoping to conduct a seismic survey in the area, which is rich in zinc and other minerals.

 

They did not elaborate.

 

Vancouver-based Africa Oil Corp is carrying out a survey in Puntland. Company officials could not immediately be reached.

Another ridiculous post. When will it stop? WHAT IS YOUR OBESSION WITH PUNTLAND??? So your forces now control las qoray right lol? I like when you write these b.s articles because it makes the people in that area unite. They put their differences a side whenever they see secessionists. But yeah, I'd understand if you said there was a fight of some sort. So you are saying that these employees went to las qoray which is in sanaag (the site of the altercation back in 06) and they didn't have body guards? What their body guards ran away when they saw your weak fighters high on khat? This is getting pretty ridiculous, why would Puntland go back to Sanaag at this moment? They have more then enough in daroor and nugaal. To bad your pres didnt' hold elections as usual, it would have been nice to see those ballot boxes go to many places you claim as yours!!!

This is a propaganda campaign intended to challenge General Ilkajiir's run for presidency in Puntland. The Inan-Gumeeds have to resort to false reporting and lies through their convenient channel Reuters, which has an office in Hargeesa.

Pardon the interruption fellows, but I thought that company was to stay away from 'disputed areas' and do surveys in Puntland proper.

Somaliland iyo Buntland maxaa kala haysta?

 

Puntland baryahan danbe way caga dhigaytay sidii ay Las Anod ugu fashilmeen baan umalayn.

Without the local support the army has no eyes nor legs. The locals should be commended for yet another great job.
