The fighting, which began yesterday, was triggered by a dispute over grazing land.

The conflict caused significant casualties and property damage, with the clashes continuing for more than 24 hours.

No official mediation efforts have been undertaken between the two clan militias so far.

The two groups have previously engaged in several conflicts in the Sanaag region.

Local sources said the fighting came to a halt on its own early this morning. Peace efforts are now underway, led by traditional elders from Puntland. Some of the elders are reportedly traveling to the conflict areas to strengthen reconciliation efforts.

Those killed in the clashes, most of whom were fighters from the opposing sides, were buried today in mass graves in the area where the violence occurred.

More than 30 people injured in the fighting were transported to Eerigaabo for treatment at local medical facilities.

Puntland and Somaliland, both of which claim authority over the disputed area, have so far failed to directly intervene and mediate between the two clan militias involved in the conflict.
