24/02/2014. Human remains are revealed in a grave site in the Somaliland capital of Hargeisa. The excavation is part of an ongoing effort by International students from a Peruvian based forensic anthropology team known as Equipo Peruino de Antropologia Forense (EPAF) who have arrived in the country to exhume some of the estimated 50,000 to 60,000 people killed between 1988 and 1991 by the former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.Somaliland is an unrecognised self-declared de facto sovereign state that is internationally recognised as an autonomous region of Somalia. This has left the area without the resources to conduct the exhumation of the remains and the ability to prosecute those involved in the massacres.According to the Somaliland War Crimes Investigation Committee (WCIC) the massacre began after a tribe known as the Isaaq began an uprising against Biarre's regime. He responded by ordering the execution of all members of this clan. “1988 was total chaos. Men, women and children were taken to killing sites by the army and shot. The bodies were dumped across the city and buried with bulldozers.” Stated Mahamoud Abdi, an employee with the WCIC. Photo credit: Alison Baskerville/LNP
