Two die in clan clashes erupted in Bulla-Hawo town

At least two civilians died and more than ten others injured after two clan militias engaged fighting in Bullo-hawo town near Somalia-Kenya.

A resident in Bulla-Hawo who declined to give his name for fear of reprisals said that the factor that influenced the eruption of the clashes was the killing of several men for revenge of traditional elders and other villagers killed in the outskirt of the town.

The situation is calm and things returned back to normal after the battle between the clan militias subsided.

Traditional elders, politicians and intellectuals have called for an end to fighting which has so far claimed two lives.

The elders also stated that it is not appropriate to shed blood at this time when the region is recovering inter-clan clashes that it so far.

“I am unhappy with the fighting embarked in Bulla Hawo town and we are looking for ways to cease the fighting erupted in the area. The clans should first stop the fighting and then solve their conflict at negotiating table” said one elder in that town.
