The government of Somaliland has acknowledged the incursion into its territory in Sanaag region of armed forces from the Somalia administrative region of Puntland.
“Puntland has deployed forces near its borders with Somaliland” informed Defence minister Ahmed Haji Abdilahi Adami during a press conference in his Hargeisa offices where he also revealed that the country’s armed forces are closely monitoring the situation.
The acknowledgment by Defence minister Adami is in apparent responses to the Puntland designate governor of Sanaag region Mahmud Ismail Iyoon who two days ago informed that forces from Garowe have been deployed between Erigavo and Badan towns which is deep inside Sanaag region.
