Appeal from Bacaadweyne community to relief agencies

Written By Elias

Elders and respected individuals from Bacadwayne village called for humanitarian agencies to intervene the long awaited permanent solution in water sources. Speaking to local media, Mr. Mohamud Cali, humanitarian affairs commissioner of Bacadwayne community raised their concerns over water issue in the area. Mr. Mohamud pinpointed that they heard rumors that they are no longer in need for sustainable and permanent water source. He emphasized that current shallow wells can't cover even villagers needs in the village rather than pastoralists along with their animals. Mr. Mohamud also said "the community of Bacaadwayne is in water insecurity situation as long as we are suffering from sand dunes that fill up our shallow wells and even some times cause sudden collapse at the bottom". Mr. Mohamud the humanitarian commissioner of Bacadwayne village urged relief organizations such as GSA to extend their reach to the area and help the destitute community get fresh and permanent borehole.  As For the security situation of the area, He affirmed that there are no insecurity problems and even fear to happen clan based conflict s and assured safety for any organization willing to aid and relief forgotten Qubeys community in South Mudug.

Bacadewyne is a populated village located about 200km south Galkacyo and is resided solely by Qubays sub clan of Great Dir Clan. It's apparent that the area had experienced at the beginning of this year deadly fighting between Salabeen and Qubays clans over mainly pasture and water at the climax of the droughts period.  Since March 2010, the hostilities and aggressions started getting down as a result of extensive efforts from religious groups, respected elders and chieftains that ended up the warfare to certain degree.
