Somaliland: Rebels kidnap 4 civilians

Somaliland soldiers setup a check-point outside Buhodle township.
LAS ANOD — Somali insurgents have abducted at least four civilians in southern Somaliland, according to news reports.
Armed members of the Sool, Sanaag and Cayn (SSC) separatist rebels late Tuesday intercepted and kidnapped four nomads near the village of Sool-Jogto in the restive southern province of Buhodle.
A spokesman for the kidnappers demanded the government to free one of their jailed leaders under conditions for a truce. The rebels insisted all victims were soldiers but the government has dismissed their claims.
“This afternoon around 4:30-PM we arrested four members of Somaliland’s defense forces in Sool-Jogto. We took them to exchange for the man named Jama Kutiye, who was in prison for years,” Abdullahi Aidid Jama, a man who identified himself as a rebel spokesman, said.
He added the men are set to face a military tribunal on Wednesday (Today) and warned if Mr. Kutiye was killed, they will execute all four men.
They further declared that their lives were in God’s hands and that they were currently held in Buhodle town, the base of the group. They said they were looked after in a human fashion but warned the government of harming their man.
Tribal figures in Burao said all four men were nomads who got abducted while herding their camels in that area. They named as Hussein Ahmed Arab, Khadar Hussein Aidid, Mohamed Ahmed Aidid and Abdi Suleiman Aden.
The group dismissed the recent peace deal between President Ahmed Silanyo and the group’s leader, Suleiman Isse Ahmed ‘Hagaltosie’. The truce deal aimed at ending a war that has raged in eastern regions included prisoner exchange, halting of military operations and compensating victims of Kalshale conflict.
The government thus far freed more than 86 prisoners and withdrew its forces from two hotspots including Sool-Jogto, where the kidnapping took place.
The conditions demanded of the rebels include disarming and the hand over weapons, freeing detained soldiers and civilians and complete end to all attacks.
The separatists claimed Mr. Suleiman was acting on his own and not the group’s interest. It is not clear how much control he has over the separatist insurgents.
While people have welcomed the ceasefire deal, many question if the rebels will abide by the ceasefire. Others feel the government has acted prematurely and rushed before even the rebels honoured a single condition in the agreement.
The rebels are fighting for independence and aim to unify with neighbouring Somalia.

hagalatosie is nothing more than a crook who is not for somaliland's independence but his own pocket. its time the army took full control of ssc by force without negotiation and leave no enemy standing
Why by force? Its wrong to kidnap civilians. All they want is not to be part of somaliland just like somaliland do not want to be part of somalia and none is using force to somaliland soo who give somaliland army the right to use force. Use your common sense.
Somaliaqueen, I think the best and peaceful way is to make referendun to all people from former british protectorate under IC supervision. Choice of majority with 51 per cent must be respected whether to go back to Union or not. For info, in Africa they are so many people who do not want to be part of their own country but are forced to live together. Just check our neighbour country Ethiopia.
REFERENDUM it’s not The some as VOTING you need more 51% it’s bigger decision minimum needed is 60% and above to have clear direction.
Other 49% will sit somewhere and keep Quiet.
somaliqueen
they want to be part of somaliland and most of them love somaliland. however it is few of them that get paid with pirate money from pirateland. i was in lascanood and there were somaliland flags everywhere i spoked with the locals andthey all wanted somaliland.
I doubt no one wants to be part of fail project.
LMHO Abdiwahab Thats rich coming from you, like somalis say Habr Fadhida Lagdin Wax Ugu Fudud. why don't u go out there and show us what u got. I'm sure your boys don't feel the same, thats why they had to run back to dusty Burco
Somaliaqueen, no body kidnapped no one its just Somaliland propaganda against khaatumo state and even if that happens, is not something new or big deal, Habr jeclo and Dhul-bante been killing kidnapping each other for centuries.
ur so deluded fool and ungrateful too before 2007 las anod was nothing but since then under s/land authority it has been more developed but it is being targeted by terrorists like ur group looking to spoil the peace
Al-xawayaan abdiwahab.
don’t call her “fool” she’s lady,unless you your self is lady using man name.
@Abdiwahab warya leave our Woman alone she aint apart of your deluded british expired colonial village border.
hahahaha abdiwahab you made me laugh LA was always something and peaceful, the city is developed because its people, are you telling me some guy from dusty Burco whos city is half garbage, don't have airports or proper roads voluntarily built our city, please give me a break, Tiisa daryeele ayaa tu kale kudara
What is wrong with somalilandpress need to lift your journalism little bid up,This picture was taken by reuters when ethiopian army went to mogadishu 2006,it’s not s/land army or millitia.
Infact The soldier with The communication he was The leading officer division That came Throught outskirts of north mogadishu with little or no real resistance.
All i am saying to somalilandpress is There are all variety of people visit This website some regular some once in a blue moon.so,you need to report information as accurate as possible.
By The way The last tweleve months somalilandpress made progress in areas such as reporting different tops of news not just in one area.
Ibrahim.
your right This picture is ethiopian arm forces.when look very closely The(shoulder patch simple it’s The one use ethiopian army).
Why They could not take picture from somaliland army instead of using This.
Somaliland has passed the test for bringing peace to that part of Somaliland. It has honored its promises by releasing prisoners of war and moved Somaliland armed force from Buhodle area, now the ball is in Dr. Saleban Hagalatosies hand, and he has to find ways to bring those four innocent civilian back with their families, otherwise, everything he said and promised will be a failure and he should accept the consequences of what ever happens.
hahahaha fake "Kayse",
It's two tribal communities fighting over one barkaad (water catchment), which costs no more than $150 to build.
Silanyo is on the retreat and Haglatosiye played him like a yoyo, very typical. Now they have Silanyo's cousins and it does not concern me or any other Somali…I am sure they will exchange nomads after they get bored of kidnapping each others. No big deal, both a crazy nomads.
If Silanyo wanted peace he should have restored that destroyed berkaad and built a new one for the other side…no point burying it. He is weak and tribalist.
@kayse.
We know every commentary have own distinctive sing,it is easy to spot imitators.

Why do you lot suck up to dhulbah@nte when they look down on you. A dhulbah@nte will never say is@@q is one of us, they hardly ever mention they have is@@q reer abti. we have to treat them like army
habarta suuqa hargeisa shaaha ku kado anshuurteda will dhulb@h@nte ba qaad ku cuna aint that some gangsta sh!!!!t and same time they forcing you to stay within somalia
It was expected such thing or worst to happen anytime. These Dhul*s in Buhodle area are savages with guns and unless they are completely disarmed there will be no peace at all. Look at them, they started kidnapping the nomads in the area for ransom as soon as the army vacated from their bases. We know that they have been crying for so long to take the army away and now this is the result.
Now, there are only two options open for Silanyo Administration:
1. To capture Bohodle and disarm these savages once for all.
2. To lift the pressure from HJ which Silanyo Admin. put on them and give them back their heavy weaponry they had surrendered to the Government so that they could safeguard their nomads from such savage attacks and let them do tit for tat games. These people in that area know each other well.
dude u are misrable excuse for a fetus, at least use your common sense dhulbah@nte is sub-clan of Harti while HJ is sub-clan of Is@@q so do u see any Harti getting involved this when it should've been Harti vs HJ, even we Dhul-bahante from Sool, Sanag and Nugaal are not getting involved, this is Ahmed Garad, Dhulos sub sub sub sub sub division clan vs HJ and here you are crying out loud ( yaa habroo iisoo gurmada) hahahaha laughable. Dhulos and HY also reside in Sool and Sanag and you hardly ever see them fighting expect Erigabo clash in 2010 which only took less than a day to solve and no one broke the peace agreement ever since, which made me think the only problem we have in North Somalia is Sii'lanyo his Habr clan.
Sii'lanyo and his Habr clan

In the link above, I said and still standby my beleive that Buhodle ppl and their supporters are not worthy of entering into covenants(CAHDI); for they have no understanding of what covenants means. They believe in hate abductions, hate rapes and hate killings.
When others take the ball to them, they are the first to cry foul weeping "stop, stop, stop". But they have no problems stirring hate when they falsely enter into peace with others.
Interesting turn of events. Its clear the SSC, have singled out a sub-tribe of Isaac.
It will be interesting what happens next.
There is a dominant sub-clan in Somaliland everyone knows who they are. If there were the President, forget Las Anood, Galkacyo would be invaded. WE THE BEST ……….. H Y B.
HY have got nothing to do with this !!
Interesting turn of events. Its clear the SSC, have singled out a sub-tribe of Isaac.
teach those nomads a valuable lesson for illegal crossing puntland territory and whip their traitor asses until they become unconscious.
