Negotiating the Fate of Las Anod Prisoners: A Step Towards Peace in Somaliland

By

The Somaliland government has announced its readiness to negotiate the fate of prisoners captured during the Las Anod conflict. This move comes nearly a year after the guns fell silent between the Somaliland National Army and the SSC-Khaatumo forces of the Dhulbahante in Las Anod, the capital of the Sool region.

Background of the Conflict

The conflict erupted on February 6, 2023, following a violent crackdown on civil protests by Somaliland security forces. Tensions escalated when Garad Jama Garad Ali, the supreme Garad of Dhulbahante, declared an intention to secede and reunite with the Federal Government of Somalia. In response, President Muse Bihi launched a prolonged military operation, including artillery bombardment, to subdue Las Anod. However, by August 2023, the Somaliland Army had retreated from the city.

The clashes resulted in over 300 deaths and displaced between 153,000 and 203,000 people. Many fled to Buuhodle and the Ethiopian border externally and to SSC-Khaatumo territories such as Taleh, Hudun, and Buuhodle or Puntland cities like Garowe, Galkacyo, and Burtinle internally. An Amnesty International report documented indiscriminate shelling by Somaliland security forces, which damaged schools, mosques, and hospitals and caused civilian casualties.

Humanitarian Efforts

In late August 2023, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) conducted its first visit to over 300 detainees in Las Anod, ensuring humane treatment and communication with their families. The ICRC also facilitated the transfer of four wounded prisoners to Qaran Hospital in Garowe for specialized treatment and the release of two detainees from Las Anod to Hargeisa in a humanitarian operation. Senior UN officials have called for a prisoner swap to further the peace process.

Government's Stance on Negotiations

Mohamed Kahin Ahmed, Somaliland’s Minister of Interior, expressed the government's willingness to engage in peaceful, unconditional discussions regarding the prisoners. “The Somaliland government is in a good position regarding these prisoners and is always ready for peaceful, unconditional discussions on this matter,” Ahmed told BBC Somali.

While negotiations have commenced, Ahmed noted that specifying a resolution timeline is currently impossible. Despite the challenges, the announcement marks a significant step towards peace and reconciliation.

Historical Context

Somaliland declared independence in 1991 within the borders of the former British Somaliland. However, the Dhulbahante clan, primarily from the Sool, Sanaag, and Buuhoodle regions, opposed the secession and boycotted Somaliland elections in protest. In 2003, the unionist Puntland state took control of Las Anod, only for the Somaliland army to seize control in 2007, leading to significant unrest and violence.

On June 7, 2023, the UN Security Council called for the immediate withdrawal of Somaliland security forces. The conflict has drawn international attention, with various organizations urging a peaceful resolution and respect for human rights.

Moving Forward

Somaliland's Commander Nuh Ismail Tani has vowed to retake the contested Sool region as recently as mid-May. However, the current move towards negotiation and potential prisoner swaps indicates a glimmer of hope for a peaceful resolution. As the international community watches closely, the progress of these talks could set a precedent for resolving long-standing conflicts in the region.

Algeria to Give MiG-29 Fighter Jets to Sudan in an Act of Military Strength

By Abubakar Hussein
The skies of Africa are about to witness a new development in defense cooperation. Reports say Algeria is set to transfer its surplus MiG-29 fighter jets, which were supplied by Russia , to the Sudanese Air Force. Though not confirmed, the move is considered one that would increase the military capability of Sudan substantially while it navigates internal conflicts and regional challenges. Strengthening Sudan's Air Force The MiG-29s have long been the workhorse of the Sudanese Air Force. It is, however, likely that Sudan would see an unprecedented improvement in its fleet of jets for air defense with the possible donation of more from Algeria. While not the most modern, the MiG-29 fighter aircraft is formidable in any air defense operation for air superiority owing to its strong maneuverable ability and combat radius. This reinforcement comes amidst a time when the country has constantly faced challenges with regard to securing its territory and airspace. Algeria has operated the M...

Somalia's Humanitarian Crisis: A Call to Action

By
In recent reports, the United Nations has sounded the alarm over Somalia's deepening humanitarian crisis, which has left millions of people struggling to access basic necessities like food and water. Joyce Msuya, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, and Beth Bechdol, Deputy Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization, recently visited Somalia to witness the situation firsthand and draw attention to the urgent needs of its people. The crisis in Somalia has been exacerbated by severe climatic events, including the worst drought in four decades followed by devastating floods. As a result, four million Somalis, constituting 21% of the population, are facing extreme food shortages. Children are particularly vulnerable, with approximately 1.7 million under the age of five suffering from acute malnutrition, including 430,000 who are severely malnourished. Despite ongoing efforts to address the crisis, challenges such as insufficient funding and logistical ba...
