The leadership, SSC-Khatumo, delivered a speech in which they strongly encouraged the military forces to preserve their defensive capabilities. During the speech, Mr. Firdhiye warned the Hargeisa administration, and the leader declared, “Those who revealed your secrets have surpassed you, and presently you are in a position of vulnerability.” Additionally, Firdhiye informed us that Somalis are well aware of the true character of the Hargeisa administration, which they consider an adversary to Somalis.
Today, on August 25th, the people of SSC-Khatumo defeated the Hargeisa administration’s troops after an eight-month-long conflict. During this period, the Somaliland militias reinforced Gojacadde base and exploited it as a strategic site for their bombardment.
