notes: Majerteen/Omar Mohamud and Sheeqaal militiamen clashed violently on the north-east side of Galkacyo, close to the road linking the town to the airport. The fight has reportedly been initiated by the killing of a Majerteen businessman by members of the Shiiqaal clan in a peripherical village some days before. At least ten militiamen from both sides have been reportedly killed during the clashes of 24/12.
