MOGADISHU (Mareeg)—Ethiopian troops have been seen in Galkayo, the regional capital of Mudug region in central Somalia, witnesses said on Monday.
Residents in Galkayo said they have seen Ethiopian troops with three trucks in the north of the town, where Puntland administration controls.
The motive behind the arrival of the Ethiopian troops is not known, but Ethiopian
Intelligence killed three people in Galkayo recently accusing them of being supporters to Ogaden Liberation Front (ONLF) which is fighting against the Ethiopian troops in eastern Ethiopia inhabited by Somalis.
Galkayo is divided between two administrations, Puntland and Galmudug and insecurity has been growing in the town recently.
Puntland works with Ethiopia in pursuing the ONLF fighters who enter in Puntland regions. One of alleged ONLF supporters died in a prison in Bosasso town after Puntland soldiers tortured him.
US congressman Donald Payne accused Puntland of being harassing the people seeking refuge in the north eastern regions under the control of Puntland.
