[Jacaylbaro]

BURAO (Somalilandpress) — Somaliland forces stationed in the village of Bali’ada in the out skirts of Widwid town have wounded at least two militants and captured another when their base came under attack from an armed militant on Saturday.

 

Somaliland commandos in Sool region’s Bali’ada received information the SSC militant group was planning to attack their base and were prepared before the militants launched their attack on the base at midnight on Saturday.

 

SSC militants

 

The commandos recovered small arms and some ammunition along with one hostage. The army said the militants were led by a man called Keyse Abdi and have since been chased to the disputed town of Buhodle. The army said they have since contacted Buhodle’s elders and Somaliland forces station in the town and have been informed that Mr Abdi has been kicked out of the town by the locals. Mr Abdi and small militants are said to have left in the direction of Galkayo, in central Somalia.

 

The army said one of their man has sustained injuries during the fight.

 

The SSC (Sool, Sanag, Cayn) militants are a new armed group believed to have so some ties with Somalia’s Al-shabab, the two groups do not want elections in the region.

 

The region is traditionally disputed between Somaliland and the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, but Puntland has so far distanced it self from the SSC militants describing them as peace spoilers. Puntland is expected to pass a new bill outlawing the group.
