Two days of heavy fighting in Mudug region of Somalia leave at least 43 people dead and over 90 injured. The fighting breaks out between the Sa’ad, Habar Gedir subclan and the Dir, and is concentrated in and around the villages of Towfiq and Awle, some 200 km east of Galkayo. As with the 2002 events, the clashes are triggered by revenge killings but the ensuing escalation of violence is also attributed to disagreements over water and grazing in the area.
