Why SSC Civilians Are Under Attack

[Farmaraa]

Somaliland militia attacked and killed 27 civilian in Kalshale indiscriminately on February 7, 2011. The enclave secessionist, a self-declared of Northwest of Somalia otherwise known as Somaliland, had mobilized its clan based militia to attack Bohdeleh District of Ayn region of Somalia.

The Somaliland administration took aggression against unarmed civilian in Kashaale area, just 18km from Bohodleh. The latest attack of Somaliland’s militia was to support Silanayo’s sub-clan who wanted to occupy the land of other clan’s properties. The other important thing to note is that the Kashale residents belong to different clan than that of Northwest of Somaliland in Hargaisa and Burco.

The SSC people have refused to be part of Isaq’s secessionist movement for the last twenty years. The Somaliland militia and administration belong to **** clan who inhabitant in Burco and Hargeisa regions. The SSC people belong to *****,*****-Dhubahante which is one of the biggest of major clans in Somalia.

The Somaliland militia’s genocide in Kashale of Bohodleh District committed human violation against humanities. According to IRIN, the humanitarian news and analysis service of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, says “…. that more than 500 families (3,000 people) were displaced from the village of Hagoogane. "Most are pastoralists." On top of that the death casualties were more than 30 lives.

This is not the first time that the Somaliland administration violated human rights .The current and previous Somaliland administration ordered their militia to attack unarmed civilians in SSC regions because simply they are against secessionist. Loud and clear, the SSC people and their leaders made appeal to international community again and again and they said “we are part and parcel of Somalia.” So, they are not part of NW clan based on administration in Hargaysa. The people of SSC become victimized because they are pro unionist and they want to remain Somali Republic as a one nation under one flag.

Thousands of SSC people were displaced by Somaliland army, a self-declared of Northwest of Somalia. Since 2007, Somaliland forces attacked innocent people of Sool, Sanag, Ayan and Somaliland invaded the capital city of SSC. The Somaliland occupation of Las- anod caused displacement and lost of lives.

 

Sadly, United Nations, EU, and USA donate to Somaliland administration a millions of dollars each year on the name of humanitarian reasons and yet this self-declared administration uses these funds to kill and maim innocent people.

This is the time, the international community, and neighborhood countries investigate the situation of the SSC regions. The people of SSC were tortured, kidnapped, and killed by Somaliland militia, and it is time that international community holds Somaliland accountable for their actions.

The reason is very clear because the SSC people refused to be part of SNM Militia.
