Armed forces from Somalia’s semi-autonomous Puntland state have attacked a camp held by federal government troops, in the latest flare-up between regional leaders and the Somali government. Government-held camp overrunHeavily armed Puntland forces, backed by military vehicles, launched an operation on Wednesday morning against a military camp near the airport in northern Galkayo city. Undated footage circulating on social media appeared to show armed men purporting to be Puntland forces taking control of a military facility. “Puntland forces took control of the camp where the fighting occurred, while the opposing forces aligned with the federal government withdrew to southern Galkayo after being overpowered,” another resident, Abdiqani Muse, said. Somalia is deeply fractured along regional lines, with Puntland President Deni being a vocal opponent of President Mohamud’s push to centralise governance.
