Mogadishu Isniin, May 12 2008 SMC“    

One of the heaviest clan clashes has rocked in Garab Adde village 30km west of Mahaday district of middle Shabelle region on Sunday night-residents said.

Some residents in area confirmed that one person has so far died in the clash that created extra fear among the village’s inhabitants.

More over elders in the region have started to shuttle-through the two warring sides to get cool the intensifying clash stuck between the two sides.

"It was bad night for us last night, because of fighting we couldn’t know where we could go at that time, what a it was worse night" Noor Ali an elder man in the area told the press that it is very likely that the battle may escalate into further new areas.

It’s the first clan-clash happened in the region this month after the elders in the Region have succeeded to prevent sub-clan skirmishing that might happen in the region on April after two resident clans have started rearming and regrouping for fight.

The fighting might resume today if the elders couldn’t accomplish something to bring to a standstill this divergence between these two clans who have been in the area for a period of long time in harmony.
