SOMALIA: Civilians begun to flee from Taleh after Somaliland invasion


 

Taleh (Bile Blog) Civilians begun to flee from Taleh town in the northern region of Sool on Tuesday after Somaliland forces invaded the town.
Somaliland forces took control of the town on Tuesday without resistance as forces loyal to Khatumo state of Somalia withdrew from the town.
The town has been the seat of the newly established Khatumo administration which opposes Somaliland’s secessionist campaign.
Residents were fleeing to nearby villages and others to Buhodle town to avoid possible fight between Somaliland forces, Khatumo State and the Puntland forces.
Puntland’s information Minister Abdiweli Hersi Indhaguran said Somalilamd capture of Taleh town was a total provocation against Puntland and that Garowe will immediately respond hard on it.
