Adadda Agreement, 2007

The following terms were agreed upon:

- Payment of one-hundred and twenty camels for each of the deceased persons from the Bah Ararsame;

50,000,000 Somali Shillings (So.sh) for funeral costs;

$1000 for the family of deceased;

and one godobtir girl per deceased;

- The wounded are to be examined in Garowe—four from the Bah Ararsame and five from the Omar Mohamoud;

- Destruction of three berkedo in Adadda and one in Daladka;

- Construction of new water points is prohibited in the geographical zone between the Bah Ararsame and Omar Mohamoud.

That includes the villages of Qoriley, Magacley, Maygaagle, Carris and Gumbur;

- Those who defy the aforementioned agreements will be held accountable;

they will be fined 50,000,000 So.sh and one year imprisonment;

- Building of impermanent settlements are prohibited;

violators will be fined 10,000,000 So.sh and imprisoned for six months;

- Puntland government will reimburse the owners of the berkedo a sum of twenty-six thousand dollars ($26,000);

ten-thousand dollars ($10,000) for Ina Habsade’s berked, six thousand dollars ($6000) for the berked in Daladka, and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for two other berkedo

Following the appeal of the Bah Ararsame the mediating committee revised the above agreement by adding the following:

- Increasing the value of Ina Habsade’s berked to twenty thousand dollars ($20,000);

- A buffer zone of 25Km between the two communities is demarcated;

this draws back the berked of Ina Habsade 7km
