Police in Burco, Togdheer region of Somaliland (often called Northwestern Somalia), reportedly used live bullets to disperse anti-Israel protesters, amid ongoing tensions over Israel’s recognition of Somaliland’s independence.
Protesters burned tires to block police access, but crowds grew west of the city despite forceful intervention.
Eyewitness accounts describe police failing to fully halt the rally as more residents joined, echoing patterns in Burco city.
No confirmed casualties or official statements from Somaliland authorities.
Similar demonstrations rejecting Israel’s actions as violations of Somalia’s sovereignty have spread to other cities like Mogadishu,Jowhar,Dhusmareeb and other cities in south Central Somalia.
