LAS ANOD — The head teacher of a school in Togdheer region is appealing to kidnappers to release four teenagers held hostage in the restive buuhodle region on humanitarian grounds.

The four teenagers were kidnapped in the village of Kalshale while tending to livestock during their school break. They are being held by a splinter group of the SSC rebels, known to be against the recent peace deal between the government and the SSC leaders.

Mr. Jama Hassan Abdi, the Head teacher of Qadi Mohamud primary school, where the three hostages attended, appealed to the group to free the teenagers while speaking to local online website, Somaliland.org. “I am Appealing to those holding the four teenagers to free them on humanitarian grounds so that they attend their classes and continue with their education as soon as the school holidays end in a weeks’ time,” he said.

Considering the both the teachings of our religion and our tradition which forbid us to harm children and women during times of conflict and the fact the oldest of the four kidnapped teenagers is said to be fifteen years.

The Head teacher said the kidnapped teenagers had nothing to do with politics nor did they contribute to the ongoing turmoil in buuhodle in any way whatsoever.

The school said the names of the students are; Khadar Hussein Aidid, Mohamed Ahmed Aidid and Abdi Suleiman Aden and Hussein Ahmed Arab .

A spokesperson for the hostage takers said, they will not release them until their demands are met including the release of a man held by the government.

The militia insisted all hostages were soldiers but the government denied their claims stressing that none of them ever held a gun.

Unconfirmed reports suggest plans to free the four kidnapped teens are currently under way.

What do you think if those kids who always drop nonsense comments here were in Buhodle area today? They would have been the worst savages with guns.

The Buhoodle kidnappers are akin to those who reached the peace agreement with Somali land last week. Why they don't solve this problem by executing the provisions of the said agreement?. Who represents Buhoodle?. If they are Xaglatoose and his cultural elders, then they are accountable for such crimes.

This is what happens, when you used too much propaganda to demonize the good people of Somaliland. Although Xagaltoosiye and his group now realized that there is nothing more important than peace and security (and for this I congratulate them), they have already done too much damage in brainwashing their youth who are now in arms and not taking orders from any one. These kidnapings will continue for some time to come. Their tribes are also splintered and patchy so it is difficult they will honour any peace deals with Somaliland. Somaliland should have plan B if this goes down the drain. seal of the borders to Buuhoodle from Somalia, deport all Somalis from Somalia in those areas and empower the loyal locals by building security institutions, schools and better economy in this region like Sool's Las Anod.
