Several people have been killed and others injured in anti-government protests in the southeast of the breakaway region of Somaliland, the head of an opposition party and local officials said Saturday.

Since Tuesday, protests have been held in the town of Las Anod, about 500 kilometres (310 miles) east of the Somaliland capital Hargeisa, following the killing of a politician by gunmen.
