The United Nations Refugee Agency is calling for urgent support to help tens of thousands of Somalis who fled fighting in a disputed border town in Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland. The refugee agency is seeking urgent support for an estimated 100,000 Somalis who have fled to Ethiopia’s Somali region. The Somalis were displaced by fighting in the town of Las Anod, the center of a conflict between the breakaway Somaliland region and locals who want to be governed by Somalia. The UNHCR is also appealing for solutions to the problem in Las Anod so that people can return home. We want to be inclusive and have Las Anod, and Sool and Sanaag regions in Somaliland as they were before.
