"Tyrannies are doomed because they destroy the togetherness of men: by isolating men from one another they seek to destroy human plurality. They are based on the one fundamental experience in which I am altogether alone, which is to be helpless (as Epictetus once defined loneliness), unable to enlist the help of my fellow men." - Hannah Arendt, The Promise of Politics.

Somaliland forces come under grenade attack in disputed Sool Region

Anonymous. BBC Monitoring Africa [London] 21 June 2011. Shabeelle Media Network website, Mogadishu, in Somali 21 Jun 11/BBC Monitoring/(c) BBC

Text of report by privately-owned Somali Shabeelle Media Network website on 21 June

Armed groups last night targeted a police station in the [disputed] town of Laas Canood, Sool Region with hand grenades, causing unspecified losses.

Two grenades were hurled at the police station in southern Laas Canood, where Somaliland forces are based in. The explosion caused by the hand grenades could be heard throughout the town followed by sound of heavy gunfire opened by Somaliland forces base at the station. Residents of Laas Canood have since then been staying indoors.

Somaliland forces in the town were seen conducting operations in a number of residential areas, where those believed to be responsible for the attack, were suspected of hiding. It is not yet known whether anyone was arrested in connection with the explosions as commanders of Somaliland forces in the town are yet to discuss the attack.

Sources indicate that a Somaliland soldier was killed in the attack, whereas another one was wounded and those responsible for it are not yet known. The attack on the police station comes at a time when the two administrations of Somaliland and Puntland are fighting over the control of the town.
