A dreadful accident occurred on the 30th July 2009 at Jid- Mohor well that is located amid the mountainous area of Al-miskaad east of Ufayn town, which is located between two nieghbouring sub-clans. Several people were killed and others injured. An eye witness who escaped to safety said that early that morning, a group of armed men stormed the area around the well and opened fire on every one around it indiscriminately,  leaving 5 dead and wounding another 3. All these killed or wounded belong to one clan, and were watering their livestock when the attack happened.

Sources on the ground affirmed that there were altercations about water sharing the previous day between the two sides. It is also remembered that the two groups had fatally clashed last year over grazing land and establishment of new settlements. This was in spite of mediation efforts and peace agreements made by Puntland Authorities and some of the most respected religious leaders in region.

But unfortunately tensions have risen once again fanned by severe droughts and water scarcity in the area. This has in turn caused a huge pastoral transhumance in the range lands.

The local Authorities sent security forces and elders from both clans to the area to stop and avoid for any further blood shed and casualties.
