Hargeysa (HOL) - So far 11 have been wounded and 2 have died after violent demonstrations erupted in some districts in the city of Hargeisa.
The demonstrations began this morning near the airport and later spread to other parts of the city including the centre of the city’s big market where demonstrators confronted the police.
Later on the military joined the police as reinforcement and used live ammunition. It is not known yet the exact number of casualties and damages as a result of these violent demonstrations.
The demonstrations started after the government ordered the removal of a rig drilling for water in south of the city. Youth in the area opposed to the removal of the rig protested the decision. Nevertheless, the government removed the truck carrying the drilling rig into a building not far from Ambassador Hotel near Hargeisa Airport. The demonstrations have lasted until 4PM this afternoon.
The youth opposed to the removal of the drilling rig camped last night near the building were the truck carrying the rig was stationed arguing that the rig is being moved to Borama city after the governor of Awdal region told the BBC yesterday that there is shortage of water in the region.
“We will not accept the removal of the rig until it finishes the drilling of the wells it was doing, “said Mowlid Farah who is one the young people opposed to the government’s decision to remove the rig after we asked him questions.
Senior official in the government remain mute on the issue but eyewitnesses told us that the chief of the police of Somaliland and the Minister of Agriculture who discussed the matter said that the rig is not being moved to Borama but can not function properly due missing parts which have been ordered from overseas.
The plan was that the rig drill four wells in the south of the city but Somaliland administration ordered the removal of the rig from the area it was drilling before it completed its work.
HOL is following the situation closely will report to you any development soon.

Layla, subxaana Caashay that was powerfull statement.
Dhuungal, haddii Riyaale lagu diidaneyn qabiilkiisa waa arin fiican oo reer Somaliland u roon. Mida kale waxqabad la'aanta waalalow arin cusub maaha, ee waa in lala xisaabtamo oo markii waqtigii doorashooyinka laga taqalusaa. Adiga waxaa wax ka sheegee Riyale, Koo Cadde Muuse la dhahaayo oo Puntland xoolaheedii iyo maamulkeedi bing bong ku dheela oo maalin kast Hoteelada Abu Dhabi ugu qaalisan iska jiifa 10 bilood, laba bilood sanadka ku soo noqda, casiir kiisa iska caabayo aa ka daran. Ar waa la kala daran yahay, Somaliland armay hadda Jano tahay dhib kasta oo jiraba, wax aan la haagasan karin ma jirto ee waa in shacab u istaagan inay xaqooda dhacsadaan, dagaal la'aan.

Layla,
I enjoyed it though,thanks for the ride! Evry now and then
one needs to hear different take on issues.
Rumour has it that Somalis are unimmaginative lot,repeating
the same excruciating painful massages of Kill this,kill that..
well done, may be some will learn that after all it is not
that difficult to think differently!

I take back every angry word I said about hawiye, ogadens and our Somali clans and would sincerely apologise. I said horrible things out of frustration and anger.
Fiqicigaal, walaalo, I respect you so much please accept my apology.
My apology also to every member and everyone.
I would ask allah to protect hargeisa iyo dadkeenii gobta ahaa
I also genuinly don't know whose city is baladweyn, but I sincerely would pray for allah and say
"baladweyn alahayow ka dhig beerta raaxada"
Guys I call for everyone of you an I am appealing to you to denounce evil and the evil people amongst us who got us where we are today. Anyone who is wanted in connection of a crime however small or trivial it sounds has to face justice even if that is my brother for the sake of Somalia.
I say this with tears in my eyes, my people are going through rough times where ever they are because we refuse to say kalimat alxaq- the word of justice, please if we want justice we will have to be seen to give it.
I beg you to come to this line of thinking, to tell your family friends and colleagues about our intentions, tell them that we have to denounce evil and stand for the right thing. I know that we might be contemplating about what is right and what is wrong, it is right if it feels that way in your heart!!! Tell them that for the sake of Somalia we will have to take a stand we have to demand justice, it won’t come to us we have to seek it. Peace will come ones we have justice. Please safe Somalia... Please safe Somalia.... Please safe my country. It won’t be saved until me and you come to the conclusion that we want justice, we want to give justice to those who died and those who are dying, please lets safe Somalia it starts with you and me.
Safe Somalia from itself I beg please safe our country awoowayaasheen u dhinteen what ever qabiil they belonged to.
Its us and only us who can make a differenece and change our current conditions.
