Somalia authorities have over the past week been dealing with yet another mass displacement of people as conflict raged in Las Anod following intensified confrontation between Somaliland forces and SSC (Sool, Sanaag and Cayn) militias.
Security experts fear that the problem may distract authorities from fighting Al-Shabaab, allowing the militants to infiltrate the area.
