Afar Paramilitaries & Ethiopian Troops Massacre Scores of Somalis
Fierce clashes rocked the Somali border town of Madaane in Sitti province, sparked by a wave of cross border raids according to eyewitnesses.
Local residents that spoke with Halgan Media reveal gun wielding Paramilitaries from the neighboring Afar regional state launched an assault on the town mid afternoon.
That assault soon turned into an hour long siege as Afar paramilitary forces and Somali pastoralists engaged in a bitter firefight.
Eyewitnesses informed the Halgan Media service desk that the Somalis in the town despite being under equipped with light weaponry where able to repel the cross border raid at first.
Scores of ethnic Afar Paramilitaries where killed during the first wave of the botched incursion. Over 10 rifles where reportedly seized according to eyewitnesses in the vicinity of the clashes.
However contingents of Ethiopia’s National Defense Force (ENDF) stationed nearby at an army outpost intervened in the midst of the clashes.
The intervention of the ENDF was not to halt or quell the fighting, but instead to prop up the marauding Afar paramilitary forces and the chain of events that ensued proves that notion.
Eyewitnesses reveal Ethiopian troops began indiscriminately opening fire with heavy weapons as the approached the periphery of Madaane town. This intense barrage of live rounds and shells forced the local Somalis, mainly consisting of pastoralists and destitute herdsmen to flee.
Following the retreat, dozens of Afar paramilitary forces and allied Ethiopian troops penetrated the town and layed siege. Local contacts reveal the joint unit began indiscriminately opening fire on everything in sight, including women and children.
As it stands at least 8 Somalis are confirmed dead. All the victims said to have been shot dead by the Afar paramilitary forces and allied Ethiopian troops. The death tole is expected to climb. Dozens of Somalis where wounded during the siege on the town.
The region at hand (Western Sitti province) lacks functioning hospitals and the local population are forced to seek refuge in makeshift medical clinics, which in nearly all cases are under equipped and understaffed.
The widely reviled regime based in the capital Jigjiga is yet to address the latest indiscriminate massacre of civilians. This has prompted many locals on the ground to believe that the level of criminal negligence from president Mustafa Omar (Cagjar) is a sign of complicity.
The Somali-Afar border stretches about 500 kilometers and has been the scenes of horrific atrocities over the past couple years. Indiscriminate attacks on Somali inhabited towns and villages has left hundreds dead and thousands more displaced.

Its all state backed, they're forever trying to land grab. Its because the state doesnt trust Somalis who want to secede so they do whatever they can to take territory.
What's worst is Somalis in Galbeed are fighting over qabiil when there under occupation
They should unite and fight the aggressor
It's a tit for tat war that's been going on for 6 years now and is unlikely to stop anytime soon. Things will go back to normal only once the census takes place and the disputed territory is rightfully returned to the somali state. If we gon keep it a buck, the somalis do the killing as well but our attacks are justified and near the border
Its one thing to attack those near the disputed regions but they conduct raids deep in Mieso and afdem with the help of the federal forces. Mustafa cagjar needs to go asap!
What they're fighting for is control of the Awash-Djibouti corridor.
There is a new coalition in town that will hopefully lead us to a better future. Not holding my breath though

They are busy killing each other.
It is insane!
Somalis in the galbeed have been victims of oromos, amharas and tigrays and now even afars are joining the party, but guess what, none of that was enough to wake them up and come together until at least they are free.
meanwhile, Somalis are killing each other in raaso right now, they were killing each other some other area last month.
somalis only know how to fight and kill each other.
There's nothing that can be done against the ENDF. They'd even run over PL and SL armies combined, let alone miskeen nomads. Only jigjiga can put a halt to this
Wheres @Ferrari and @tyrannicalmanager whats going on? 1st Oromos in Babile and now Canfar in Messana 
tyrannicalmanager
pseudo-intellectual
the new jigjiga admin is worthless.
they haven't deleveloped anything, they don't respond to floods happening in the region nor to they protect there civilian against invading militias.
the only thing they've done is start trouble with the opposition.
