A week of violent clashes between rival forces in northern Somalia has killed 11 people and forced more than 50,000 to flee, the UN humanitarian agency said on Saturday.
Tensions between the rival regions of Puntland and Galmudug soared last month after Galmudug said 13 of its soldiers were killed in a misdirected US airstrike which was supposed to be targeting Shabab fighters.
Galmudug immediately accused its neighbor of prompting the strike by feeding Washington false information, sparking a deadly standoff between the rival regions.
On Oct. 7, clashes erupted in Galkayo, a town divided between the two administrations and rival clans, with Puntland accusing Galmudug forces of staging an attack in retaliation for the US strike.
“At least 11 people were killed and dozens wounded between Oct. 7 and Oct. 13,” Tapiwa Gomo, Somalia spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), told AFP.
He added that a peace agreement signed on October 9 had failed to hold with fighting erupting “less than 24 hours after.”
“Intermittent fighting continues and humanitarian partners in Gaalkacyo (Galkayo) estimate that over 50,000 people have been displaced as of Oct. 13,” said an OCHA statement.
“Local authorities have indicated that the number could be higher as more people continue to flee the violence,” it said, indicating that around 60 percent of these civilians were interally displaced people being forced to flee a second time.
“The armed violence has exacerbated an already fragile humanitarian situation.”
Galkayo, which lies about 700 kilometers (440 miles) northeast of Mogadishu, is not under the control of the central government and has seen frequent clashes between rival groups and clans.
Such groups are distinct from the Al-Qaeda linked Shabab fighters who are fighting to overthrow the internationally-backed government in Mogadishu.
In December 2015, at least 20 people were killed and 120 wounded in an eruption of violence between rival militia groups from Puntland and Galmudug that forced more than 90,000 people to flee.
The US Africa Command (AFRICOM) confirmed the September 28 strike near Galkayo, saying it was a “self defense strike” targeting Shabab militants, which had killed “nine enemy fighters.”
