Somaliland has announced a 50% salary increase for its armed forces, fulfilling part of President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Irro’s campaign pledge to boost military pay.

According to a presidential decree on Wednesday, the salary increase will be implemented in the 2025 fiscal year, marking the first of several annual increments promised by President Irro during his campaign. He had pledged to raise military salaries by 250% during his first term in office.

“I have issued a decree that the permanent salaries of the various national forces will be increased by 50% in each fiscal year during the first term of the government, based on the permanent salaries of the fiscal year 2024,” President Irro stated. 

The decree also mandated the implementation of an IRIS Biometric Registration System for all Somaliland armed forces. The registration process is set to begin on February 1, 2025, and must be completed within 30 days.

The salary increases will take effect once the biometric registration and census of the armed forces are finalized, according to the decree.

President Irro further pledged to improve the professionalism and capability of Somaliland’s military. His government plans to provide enhanced training and modern equipment to the forces to strength national security.
