Liibaan Posted June 22, 2010 Laascaanood Reporter Beaten Tortured Imprisoned The Somali TV Universal confirmed that their Laascaanood reporter Maxamed Shaqale has been imprisoned by the Somaliland Clan Militia police based in Laascaanood, but they did not say what happened to Maxamed Shaqale after he was taken to prison. We now have an update on the situation from our reporters on the ground in Laascaanood and Hargeysa. It has been confirmed by our reporters that since Mr Shaqale was removed from his home, the Somaliland Clan Militia subjected him to mental torture and physical beatings. The Somali TV news confirmed the reason Maxamed Shaqale has been taken to prison is all because of the report that he presented showing that Xudun, Taleex and surrounding villages are supporting the SSC peace and progress leaders, and that SSC is independent of both the Somaliland Clan Militia and the Puntland administration. The reporter Maxamed Shaqale has been beaten both on his way to the Buro (Burco) prison and during his transfer from Buro to the extreme Mandera prison, where it is confirmed that 99% of the occupants in the prison are from SSC and 95% originate from the *********** Clan. Many of these prisoners have never had a trial, majority are collected from Laascaanood and surrounding villages. This is part of the tribal cleansing agenda of the Somaliland Clan, to imprison or kill all the young men of the SSC, particularly the *********** and ********** SSC supporters. Many families in the SSC region do not know whether their son, husband or fathers are dead or alive as no outside contact is allowed for these men that are imprisoned all because of their tribe. The imprisoning of the reporter Maxamaed Shaqale highlights the need for international intervention in the region, to stop the innocent people that are being tortured because of their tribal region and support for the peace loving SSC leaders, who have acting against great odds to stop the Somaliland Clan Militia killings in the SSC region.
