Somaliland: Somaliland and Ethiopia send troops to border in Sool and Buhodle regions
Troops from Somaliland and Ethiopia entered the border town of Buhodle on Saturday in a bid to beef up security in both nations as elections approach.
According to the local paper, Waaheen, Somaliland Defense Minister, Mr. Suleyman Warsame Guled told local press that troops from both countries have been deployed in a number of border towns including the town of Buhodle. The minister said the two troops would work together to maintain security in the region.
Ethiopia, who is also concern about the spread of al-Shabaab and other radical groups in Somalia has since created a number of security cordons around the town. The troops are also inspecting trucks in and out of the town, while troops from Somaliland are escorting election team to the city.
