Comment on Activity: In an effort to reinforce the Afar’s claim to the Djibouti road area, the Afar regional council decided to move some district headquarters in zone three from the river to the road. The Issas decided to prevent this from being completed. The Afars, for their part, were determined to go through with it and gathered a force of about thirty armed men to protect the site. In March tensions exploded when a group of about 50 armed Issas arrived at the site and fell into a well staged ambush. The battle lasted for hours and when it ended, thirteen Issas were killed and 10 wounded. After this battle, violent clashes continued at various places in Afar zone three.
