Somaliland: Separatists assassinate Sool treasury – police
August 3, 2012 · 18 Comments
LAS ANOD — The regional treasury of Sool was killed when suspected pro-secession gunmen shot him on Thursday night in Las Anod, a security official said.
Mohamed Awil was in the business district when up to three gunmen suspected of belonging to an armed faction of the separatist Khaatumo Movement attacked him.
Mr. Awil was pronounced dead on the scene and the suspects fled the scene on foot even though police arrived immediately. Security forces told local media an investigation was already underway.
Efforts to contact senior officials in Las Anod for questioning were unsuccessful.
The violence on Thursday night came a day after unknown assailants hurled a hand grenade at the residential home of Las Anod’s new mayor, Mr. Farah Abdi Yare. The attack injured a police officer, who was rushed to a local hospital.
The latest surge in violence is believed to be linked to the recent agreement between President Ahmed Silanyo and former SSC militia leader, Suleiman Isse Ahmed ‘Hagaltosie’. Mr. Ahmed gave his pledge to disarm militia in Buhodle to President Silanyo during a meeting held in Dubai last month.
The move has reportedly angered an another faction based in Taleh, which is led by Somalia’s former Prime Minister, Ali Khalif Galeir.
Ahmed accused them of destabilising the region during his keynote address to Buhodle residents following his return from UAE at the end of July. It was just last week when he survived an attempt on his life after Khaatumo gunmen opened fire at him.
The former rebel leader recently turned a peacemaker and there are speculations he might be rewarded with a ministerial position in the Ahmed Silanyo government.
In a related development, General Ismael Mohamed Osman, the chief of the armed forces welcomed the recovery of two battle-wagons and a civilian vehicle on Wednesday. The General said members of the Khaatumo separatists ambushed the vehicles back in March but they were returned by defecting fighters from the group.
Khaatumo separatists are engaged in a violent confrontations with Somaliland forces in the southern region of Sool.

inali lahi wa inali raajicuun may Allah rest his soul in peace and punish his killers. In this month of Ramadan!!
Its sick to see them breaking their fasting with blood. They have became like the ones carrying suicide bombs in Iraq, Mogadishu, etc, during holy days and months. Very shameful.
I wonder what is their zuhur? If blood became ifteer for them.
We send our sympathy to the residents of Lass Annod and his family, who love peace.
This is a sad news! My heartfelt sympathy goes to his family and his friends. Certainly, Lasanod become a slaughtering house.
It’s sad indeed. These days muslims They have no clue(what islam is). in somalia some fanatics killing own people month of ramadan.iraq similer blowing cars killing innocent indiscriminately also syria fighting muslim vs muslim Atleast what These jack asses could do is stop This holy month The fight.
I hereby convey My condolences to the family of A marhum Mohamed Awil may his soul rest in peace and these murderers will never profit on this the only gain is a loss and let tell you that Mr Ali Khalif Galeir I really dough if he is a politician and also he senses of his leadership I think he has lost his credibility in the Political world and l put him in the position of murderers and if he is a politician why he does not act like it. l am part of his clan but we are acting like red Indians as they fought a unwinning war and they perished and it is we Dulbahante please we do not want any more war we need to develop our selves.
No one loves peace more than the Sool people. Lascanood was one of most peaceful cities since the fall of former government way before the formation of Puntland. I'm strongly against killing on Ramadans, but no Dulbahante blames Ali khalif whats going on in LAscanood not even those who work with Somaliland project, because we all know city was like this since 2008 is only gone worse. lool don't worry the city is developing at the same time, only those working with somaliland have been targeted.
Why targeting them they are one of us we should not act like dictators this is a free world let us live in the modern world only democratic way we can have our right and no one will deny us because we belong to the land and we have all the right to have the leadership in Somaliland there is no objection on that as we a good and talented people who can lead Somaliland and l think we have every chance of development in our area than the tribal issues please l request let us come to our senses war will never bring any development just see our fellows brothers in the South they will always be failures because there is no trust among them that is why they are seducing us to join their burden in there failed government thank you lam just giving my comment.
Khaatumo State has nothing to do with this, see the districts they rule are stable, why Lascanood is so different? I would advice my follow reer Lascanood untill get rid off people like Mahad Cambashe and Habsade they will never taste a peace.
and since Somalia is technically ONE they only separatist we have are those calling themselves Somalilanders.
uuuumm u lied nacas somaliland is gone
Riddle me this riddle do i smell tribulism from the Dhubalnte clan the most abusive somali tribe ever.
@yahye dee meeshu waxay noqotay House of morons. hahaha I blame those darbo jiifyo duleeka Lascanod gaajadu ku dishay. Mahad Cambashe call them national army what a joke… but I find it hard to believe the whole Mahmud Garad and Bah-rarsame who own the most Dulbahante territories ( Jiidali, Yayle to Yocada) couldn't get rid off such a small and weak militias like Mahad Cambashe's. I salute Farah Garad they wouldn't let people like Haglo-tosiye to destroy thier unity. I'm strongly against killing during holy month of Ramadan and believe me Habsade is not someone you would want to break your fast for lool . assissanating and bombing really?? wallahi these people gone wild, they out of thier minds.
@Adulahi tribilism is something all reer waqooyi have in common, especially Dulbahante and Isaaq are the most qabilist in Somali race.
yeah right Knawashi citizen stop acting relgious.
Abdulahi loool am not sure what Knawashi means but I'm guessing thats Jareer accent. and FYI am not acting anything matter of fact am not religious person am just normal Muslim person who prays 5 times a day , fast, and give Zakat. thats all.
_khaatumo if you do all that your people should stop being abusive please don't use ramadan as an excuse to be kind and abusive i think you are biopolar that is not jareer you and saad muse are anti southners your people have no brains. they fight all the time even in Hargiesa dallo airlines you guys should be taught a lesson your people are going to be punished.__knwashi is japanese.
Khaatumo
That is the best way to be a Muslim. And your hatred of Isaaqs is also very Somali. Remain that way Bro.
inali lahi wa raajicuun may ALLAH rest his soul in peace.
It is indeed shame to see them spill blood in the holy month of Ramadan. What is happening to the Muslims?
Somalilandpress's propaganda does not and will not work; Khatumo State is here to stay; helping to lead our federal government in Mogadishu. and soon Sool and Sanaag region; obviously Cayn – The beacon of Khatumo State proved to the much hyped Somaliland Army that .. hey.. you ain't that much hence the blue flag waving proudly in buhoodle city. as for Xaglatoosiye and Kayse who both have no following and positions in Khatumo land are playing dice and cards with Somali land… enjoy entertaining our drop outs. khatumo Media need this kind of material for our comic section.
