Inter-Clan Violence in Mudug Region Displaces Rural Communities
On March 31, 2026, UNHCR reported that inter-clan clashes in the Mudug region, triggered by disputes over land and natural resources, displaced approximately 1,500 individuals. The violence centered on the areas of Dhinowda and Ceel Dhanane, forcing families to flee toward Garacad and Towfiq. Local authorities confirmed that 60% of the displaced are women and children. Despite peace dialogue efforts by community leaders, the situation remains fluid, with displaced households facing severe water and food shortages.
