Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Irro is expected to depart for Djibouti on an official visit on Wednesday.
According to information the main goal of this trip is to begin direct talks between Somaliland leaders and representatives from Las Anod. These talks will focus on finding peaceful solutions to the conflict that has caused tension and violence in the region for over a year.
One of the key topics expected to be discussed is the release of prisoners who were arrested during the recent clashes. This move would help build trust between both sides and show a willingness to move toward peace.
Several community leaders and influential figures from Las Anod are already in Djibouti, waiting to take part in the talks. Djibouti is helping to host and guide the discussions, playing the role of a neutral peacemaker. The country has experience in supporting peaceful solutions in the region and is now trying to help Somaliland and Las Anod come to an agreement.
Sources say the talks will likely be held in private, without public or media involvement. This is to make sure both sides can speak freely and honestly, without outside pressure.
If the talks go well, they could open a new chapter for Somaliland—one of peace, unity, and healing. It would also show that Somaliland is ready to solve its internal issues through dialogue, which could help its image in the international community.
