We Further Contend, On Grounds Of Human Rights.
In February/04/ 1991 Somali National Movement (SNM) which is a clan based group invaded Awdal State Region and killed over 3,500 unarmed civilians within 48 hours from Lowyado to Gabiley. They have been inserting force by brutalizing civilians, and fail to acknowledge responsibility of massacres that took place. Their actions were motivated by the desire to increase power over other clans, and any means to gain resources was justifiable for them. After they took the power SNM become the Somaliland Government and continued targeting the innocent civilians as objects of their campaign by creating conspiracy murders.
The Occurrence Of Violation Human Rights In Awdal Region:

The main intent, then as now, was a Tribalism pure Issak state through ethnic cleansing of Somali traditional patchwork of peoples. Any doubt about Somaliland's aim was laid Twenty years with governor Ahmed Siilaanyo the leader of SNM broadcast on government radio when he issued a rallying cry to his troops, "When you go on your mission, if you find them, kill them, sweep them away, Hunting them.

JUSTICE NEED TO BE SERVED

We the undersigned strongly condemn the brutality against women, children, and elders in Awdal regions. We hold the so called president of Somaliland Ahmed Mohamed Mahamoud (Siraanyo) and his government accountable for violating the fundamental rights of civilians and by engaging clan cleansing and displacement.
How many more warnings from organizations such as peace a human rights group that campaigns against WAR CRIMES and systematic Tribalism human rights violations, of which I am patron will be necessary for the world to take notice The Awadal State people cannot afford another year to pass before the international community acts. Delay would risk yet again ignoring the pledge we make and break every time crime takes place: "Never again".
The UK and international community must act now. Pressure should be applied on Somaliland to allow access for humanitarian and serve justice to bring international court to Somaliland leaders who participated this crimes. In addition, a no-fly zone should be established to stop the government's aerial attacks, while UN sanctions should be applied to stop the flow of weapons to the government.
These actions would do much to prevent the situation deteriorating further. But ultimately, we must stop appeasing Siilaanyo's regime. The world has averted its gaze from Somaliland for too long in the hop Safe and security would be more conciliatory. Yet it has led only to more belligerences, more bloodshed, and more terror for those living under his power. Perhaps we should not be surprised.
Conciliatory diplomacy was ineffective in power straggliest Somaliland evidence shows trouble in the region is far from over. What happened before can happen again if we don’t take immediate action. Addressing the underlying cause of Seemaal mass-murders troubles means ensuring Siilaanyo, and others in his regime are brought to justice at the international criminal court to stand trial for his crimes against humanity otherwise we risk sitting idly by as they get away with murder.
