A former professor of History and African
Studies at Gainesville University in Florida, now resident in
Ottawa, stated that Gebileh is a small town located between
Hargeisa and Borama in Somaliland (18 June 1998). He also stated
that the main inhabitants of Gebileh are the Jibril Abokar, a
sub-sub clan of the Habr Awal, which is a subclan of the Isaak.
Information on the situation in Gebileh,
whether there are NGO services, schooling, a local administration,
a local police force and a judiciary could not be found among the
sources consulted by the Research Directorate.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is
not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any
particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
