Somalia: Somaliland Dumps Away the Involvement of Foreigners in the Battle
Mogadishu
The authority of the self-styled government of Somaliland kept a side and called null and void to what the autonomous president of put land said. The president of punt land Ade Muse said that foreigners were involved in the fight between his men and those of Somaliland in Lasanod town.
The chairman of UID party Feysal Ali Warabe in Hargeisa told radio Shabelle that what the administration of punt land is saying is beyond the normal truth and there were no foreigners involved in this fight. The Somaliland forces conquered Lasanod town from put land forces last Monday.
[b]Warabe said the statement of the president was nothing other than asking to get military assistance as Feysal put it.[/b]
Ade Muse said forces from Somaliland and those of Sool region attacked our men and they defended themselves.
Warabe also said that Muse wants foreign troops to join the combat. Feysal's talks came after the president of the self autonomous state of punt land said that there was participation of foreigners on Monday's clashes.
