MOGADISHU — Several people have reportedly been killed and injured in a violent clash between two clan militias from the Hawadle and Abgaal clans along the border of HIiran and Middle Shabelle regions in Hirshabelle State.
The confrontation erupted Saturday morning in Calaag, a rural area located on the border between the two regions, over disputes related to grazing land.
Preliminary reports suggest multiple casualties on both sides, though the exact number remains unconfirmed.
The situation in the area remains tense, with reports indicating that the militias are still positioned against each other. Local elders and Hirshabelle State authorities have initiated negotiations to defuse the conflict and bring the rival groups to a resolution.
The latest clash comes several weeks after six Somali National Army soldiers from the Hawadle clan were killed in the El-Baraf district of the Middle Shabelle region due to clan-related disputes. That dispute was resolved through the efforts of federal authorities and local elders, with the perpetrators sentenced by a military court.
