Fighting Resumes In Bossaso Amid Growing Calls For Dialogue

A ceasefire between Puntland government forces in the port city of Bosaso collapsed in the wee hours of Thursday as two sides resumed fighting in the town.

There are ongoing efforts to stop the escalating fighting between Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni who fired PSF commander Mohamoud Osman Diyano in the region.

The deadly two-day fighting has so far claimed the lives of ten people and has forced hundreds of families to flee from their houses in the coastal town due to the fighting between the two forces.

There have been growing calls for peace talks between the rival forces in the semi autonomous region by politicians.Tensions between the two have run high since last month when Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni fired PSF commander Mohamoud Osman Diyano.
