Somali soldiers storm central bank demanding their pay

Mogadishu, Somalia, 28 Jan 2008 - Somali soldiers loyal to the authorities of the semi-autonomous Puntland region have seized the central bank demanding their salaries.

The heavily-armed soldiers stormed the bank cutting off all roads leading to and from the building, claiming they had not been paid for several months.

This comes a week after Puntland locals staged protests in the region's administrative capital Garowe, marking the return of President Mohamud "Adde" Muse.

Protestors expressed their opposition to several major issues, including hyperinflation and the false currency scandal, rising insecurity and the Puntland administration's ineffective policy on Las Anod - a disputed town now controlled by the neighboring rival state of Somaliland.
