#Dhulbahante clan elders, supported by their
#Majerteen and
#Warsangeli allies, decided that
#Sool and
#Sanaag should form a new administration (
#SSCKhatumo) and reunite with
#Somalia. Interestingly, they labeled
#Somaliland actions a “
#genocide”.
#Ishaaq-dominated Somaliland also bases the legitimacy of its claim for independence on a genocide carried out by federal forces against the Ishaaq clan in the 1980's.
