Kamaavi Posted March 2, 2011 Fighting between Al-shabab militants and government allied troops in the border town of Beled Hawo went on yesterday until late last night. Bombs have been hitting Burta village, which is thirty KM to Beled Hawo town. The village which is close to the border is home to residents who recently fled the fighting. Beled Hawo now remains a ghost town. It is only Al-shabab insurgents and few people who would wish not to leave that remained in the town. Most of the residents have fled towards Mandera district of the Kenyan border. However, Kenyan security forces are reported to have closed the border between the countries. The Kenyan military has also brought armored vehicles and tanks at the border. Although there are no clear reports on the number of casualties, some reports say a mortar that hit a residential house has killed two people. Eighteen other people who were also injured are receiving treatment at Jamal hospital on the Kenyan side of the border. By Sahra Ahmed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
