AlQa'dah 2, 1435, Aug 28, 2014, SPA -- At least nine people were killed in fighting on Thursday between rival areas in Somalia's usually calm Somaliland region, Reuters cited residents as saying. Somaliland forces launched an offensive on a town where people had inaugurated a man they said was president of the newly autonomous Khatumo area. Officials and many attending the occasion in north Somalia fled to the nearby Ethiopian border.
