LAS ANOD —<\/strong> Reports from Las Anod town in Sool region say that the Somaliland police forces have arrested a number of civilians during a security operation in the district.<\/p>\n

Somaliland\u2019s Sool regional police commander confirmed to reporters in Las Anod today that security forces had carried out an operation in town, arresting a number of traders from the south.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople from southern Somalia are foreigners, they are like Ethiopians and we will deport them from Las Anod,\u201d said General Ahmed Abdullahi Abdi.<\/p>\n

The commander accused these people of being responsible for the insecurity in Las Anod, and in connection with previous crimes.<\/p>\n

Somaliland authorities also told local media that they were investigating the men and some had been already released after being questioned.<\/p>\n

The operation came amid a recent spate of insecurity in the city, in which officials and other members were killed by unknown gunmen.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an statement from the Somalia\u2019s Minister of Justice called the deportation that Somaliland is carrying out in Lasanod district saddening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply saddened by what is happening in Las Anod. The deportation of Somalis from a Somali city is something new in our culture, and it does not reflect the civilization and the governance culture of the state.\u201d The minister said in Facebook post.<\/p>\n

Adding \u201cI call on the Somaliland authorities to refrain from such acts that do not reflect Islamic, state or Somali culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

The operations have been the subject of much discussion on Somali social media, with lots of people dismayed with the move.<\/p>\n
