The ceremony to decommission the Civilian Militia took place at the Presidential Palace in Erigavo, marking a significant departure from previous decommissioning events, as this was the final one.
The Vice President of the Republic of Somaliland, H.E. Mohamed Ali Aw Adan, delivered a comprehensive speech highlighting the broader plan for the decommissioning of the Civilian Militia. He stated:
“Today, we conclude the decommissioning of the Civilian Militia forces in the Sanaag region. Previously, we completed the process in Saraar and Sool, and Togdheer is also progressing well.”
Additionally, the Vice President emphasized that he is not a leader for any specific group or region but serves as the Vice President for all the people of Somaliland. He said:
“People have repeatedly noted my frequent visits to Erigavo and the Sanaag region, and I tell them—I love Erigavo. I am not just the Vice President for Awdal alone; I am the Vice President for all of Somaliland.”
Finally, the Vice President spoke about the resources in the Sanaag region, stating that they will soon be utilized. He added:
“Sanaag is a region rich in diverse resources unmatched elsewhere in the world! We are striving to ensure these resources are effectively harnessed for the benefit of all.”
