He emphasized that there is an urgent need for comprehensive security measures to bring peace to these areas.
Jam added that the President and the security institutions have failed in their duties, and they can no longer be trusted.
Following the events of August 25, 2023, in Sool region, which led to the ouster of Somaliland troops from Las Anod the President’s leadership and his involvement are unclear. The security institutions show signs of ineffectiveness and a lack of responsibility.
If the government does not intervene in the conflicts and incidents in these regions within 24 hours, the Somaliland House of Representatives should call on the highest-ranking officials of the security agencies to be held accountable.” Said Mahmoud Adam Jama “Galaal.
Reports indicate that these prolonged conflicts involve rival clans in the Ceelafwayn and Cali Saahid regions, resulting in casualties and injuries.
