In the attack saw the two victims sustain various bodily injuries which are being treated at the regional hospital, their colleagues managed to escape unscathed after a fierce fight with the baboons.
Surprisngly the now wild baboons entered homesteads where they stole all the food stocks like sugar, flour etc eating most and destroying the rest
Somaliland is home to hundreds of thousands of baboons of which almost half of them dwell in peri-urban centres nationwide.
