Comment on Activity: In March 2002 tensions exploded when livestock was stolen from the Sheikhal by the Ogadeni, and a large-scale clash occurred at Hargeisa Yare, north of Raso, in which the Sheikhal drove the Ogadenis out of the village and burned it to the ground. After this initial attack, revenge attacks were carried out through the year, resulting in hundreds of deaths.
