Somaliland, the self-declared independent state in northern Somalia, has cited security concerns for evicting hundreds of people from its territory, in a move that sparked criticism from the United Nations.
Details of the eviction had been “distorted” by Mogadishu to portray the region as rogue, officials in Hargeisa, its capital, said in a statement.
