NASSIR Posted July 29, 2011 by Mohamed Shiil Special to All Headline News Puntland forces and a militia led by Mohamed Said Atam reached a preliminary ceasefire over the weekend. “Two sides agree to stop fighting and enhance peace efforts,“ a Puntland senior official, Ali Abdikadir, announced Saturday. “Puntland agreed moving the troops it has amassed in Galgala but no date was specified for the troop pullout.” The talks, held in Af-urur near Galgala, started last week. The two sides agreed to resume talks next month to resolve the remaining key issues, including implementation of a full-scale ceasefire. Atam’s militia had demanded release of their militia in Puntland prisons, the abolition of Puntland intelligence services and the withdrawal of Puntland troops from Galgala. Conversely, Puntland demands had included that Atam’s militia lay down its weapons and join peace efforts, start peace talks and accept the amnesty that Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole offered to them. Puntland and Atam's militia Atam had clashed in Galgala in May in a fight that claimed at least 10 people after the militia attacked and seized the mountainous position from Puntland forces. Last year, Atam’s forces and Puntland fought in Galgala and Atam’s militia were ousted from the settlement. Puntland officials have accused Atam and forces loyal to him of having links with al-Shabaab, a claim that Atam has denied several times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Duke Posted July 29, 2011 Good news this group was defeated and as long as the kids are saved it will be most welcome. Attam and his ilk are history in the modern Somalia. Even Mogadishu is not safe for these rodents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NASSIR Posted August 2, 2011 Daily NATION July 24 2011 Reports from Garowe, the capital of Puntland, 1, 000 km northeast of Mogadishu, indicate that a preliminary accord was reached between the two parties. It added that the talks were organised by community elders and influential people from Puntland, especially from the affected Sanaag and Bari regions. The accord, according to undisclosed Puntland officials, includes cessation of hostilities, removal of ‘aliens’ from the disputed territories and to give the elders a chance to advance the peace talks. Puntland forces and militias led by Sheikh Atam fought bitter wars in and around the township of Galgala at the base of the Golis mountain range, west of Bassaso, the main port town of Puntland.
