newspaper in Somalia's separatist region of Somaliland has published a report stating that the spokesman of an insurgent group has appealed for military assistance from Somaliland, Radio Garowe reports.
Hargeisa-based newspaper Haatuf, in its January 4th article titled, 'Atom Spokesman Says Group is Ready for Talks with Somaliland,' exposed the shady connections between Somaliland's separatist administration and Al Shabaab insurgent faction that wages war to topple the UN-backed Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in Mogadishu.
Farah Ismail Sardheye, who identified himself as the spokesman for Mohamed Said Atom, told Haatuf newspaper that Atom's group has "no connections" with Al Shabaab.
In the interview, Mr. Sardheye claimed that Galgala village in Bari region of Puntland is "part of eastern Sanaag region." However, Galgala is a village located in Bari region and was formerly the base of operations for Atom and his fighters.Sii Akhri
