Ten killed in fighting Somalia

Ten persons were at least killed and other 28 wounded in the state of "Pontland," the unilaterally declared state to the northern east of Somalia, during fighting between the forces of two tribal chiefs over Presidency, according to one warring group in a statement issued on Saturday in Makadishu.

The fighting took place on Friday between the men of Abdullah Youssef Ahmad and men of Jum'a Ali Jum'a. Each of the two leaders stresses he is the head of the region which the Daroud group declared as an independent state in 1998.
