| 2005-06-15 |
| At-least 16 people have been killed and 20 others injured in fighting between rival militias in an almost two-month dispute over land and pasture. Over a month of fighting intensified today in Aato village that borders the Rabdhuure and Ealbarde districts of the southwestern Bakol region of Somalia, said traditional leader Malaq Madkeer via a two-way radio. Staff at makeshift medical facilities in neighboring towns confirmed the death toll, adding that 20 people were injured. |
