location: Belet Weyne
notes: Armed clashes between AS forces and Hawadle militias supportive of the ASWJ were reported to have occurred in Teedan and Waab Weyn on 30/05. Some sources indicate that AS conducted a retaliatory action against Hawadle militias allied to ASWJ who attacked AS positions in Halgan the day before (the attack on Halgan was originally wrongly reported as having been conducted by militias of the Shabelle Valley State). At least 9 dead were reported, believed to be mostly from AS who could have been ambushed while approaching Teedan. Tension is high in the area that in the last two years has occasionally been the theater of small-scale clashes between local Hawadle clan militias and the AS.
