  Puntland spokesman Awad Ahmad Ashara told IRIN that the forces had gone to Las Anod "to stop fighting between two feuding clans in the area".
  ...
  Ashara said it was normal for the Puntland authorities to send police forces to the area "since both regions are part and parcel of Puntland"."The people in these regions consider themselves as part of Puntland," he said, adding that Puntland wanted peace and stability in the area "and wants to solve everything through dialogue and peaceful means".
  
  Sources in the Somaliland capital, Hargeysa, told IRIN that the authorities had dispatched "combat-ready" troops to Sool region.
