HARGEISA — President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo appointed a former Commander of an armed militant in Sool region as the Minister of State for National Reconciliation for Eastern regions on Saturday.

Mr. Silanyo issued a Presidential decree appointing Kayse Abdi Yusuf, the former SSC field Commander, as the first national reconciliation minister for Sool and eastern Sanaag.

Mr. Yusuf will now negotiate on behave of the government with SSC and Khaatumo groups in Buhodle and Taleh townships respectively.

Kayse promised to promote peace and reconciliation between all Somaliland groups.

The appointment of the former rebel Commander follows a July-agreement signed by the President and the leader of the SSC group, Suleiman Isse Ahmed ‘Hagaltosie’.

Mr. Ahmed gave his pledge to disarm his fighters in Buhodle to President Silanyo during a meeting held in Dubai last month. Both men agreed to resolve all disputes through dialogue and peaceful means.

The move has reportedly angered an another splinter-faction, Khaatumo based in Taleh, which is led by Somalia’s former Prime Minister, Ali Khalif Galeir.

Ahmed accused them of destabilising the region during his keynote address to Buhodle residents after his return from the UAE. It was just last week when he survived an attempt on his life after Khaatumo gunmen opened fire at him.

Meanwhile tribal elders and residents of Taleh are calling upon the Khaatumo separatist to leave their town as soon as possible. During a meeting held in the town, they said they will not host them anymore and urged them to take their fighters else where.

Their demand comes a day after some of the Khaatumo fighters defected and joined the Somaliland national army in Las Anod.

    Good move. Let's hope that MR Kayse Abdi Yusuf would be able to make a good difference
    in his new appointment. Taleh falls under Sanaag province..hopefully, Taleh may become
    the central hq for all Sool dhuloz with the exception of Buhoodle which's a different ball game.
    The Govt of Kulmiye Party under the wise leadership of Veteran President Silaanyo is paying off.
    Cheers.

    big mistake to appoint a war lord from enemy territory those people from that clan have disregard aganist somaliland and it's people where are the useless and stupid dispora somalilanders they are cowards allowing that man to be minister would the government appointment puntland official to be minister.

  3. amal says:

    I don't know why some criminals call Silanyo a war lord viva Silanyo. Look he is doing whatever he can to diplomatically reach out to the people of Sool. Let Somaliland fairly govern its citizen from every corner justly and appoint more people from sool as ministers. But if any criminals try to destabilize Somaliland's peace then let the government defend its people and country swiftly and vigorously.

    Propaganda that man does not represent anybody. I don't understand why siilanyo is waiting his money and time. Dhulos DONT WANT somaliand, is it hard to understand?

    • Warqabe says:

      I don't understand too who you represent!

    • kabocalaf says:

      Liban

      But that is not true. The truth is this: Some Dhulos want Somaliland; Some Dhulos want Puntland and some Dhulos want Khaatumo. Brothers why cant ever any of us admit the truth? The figures are disputed. I would say it 40% to Somaliland, 40% Puntland and 10% Khaatumo. the 10% done care either way.

      Somaliland does have two advantages over the others: Las anodians are pro Somaliland so it controls the capital of Dhulos. The second advantage is the quality of its supporters: The educated; the influential and the heroic are pro somaliland. Cabdi Bile was in Hargeisa recently.

      • Las-canod says:

        90% of dhul-bahante are khaatumo state.. and for Abdi Bille he also been to Garowe does that make pro-puntlander too. Abdi bille is Somali athlete and doesn't belong to one Qabil or one region.

  5. Liban says:

    Correction: waiting=waisting!

    • adeer abdi says:

      its wasting learn English you dump ass

  6. Nur says:

    There are people who come on this website insult one another and they don't talk about the subjects only profanity, insults, name calling and verbal abuse. This a month of being to one another not being rude to others, for shame. I digusted with you guys today.

  7. Abdullahi says:

    There are people who come on this website just to insult one another and they don't talk about the subject only profanity, insults, name calling and verbal abuse. This a month of being kind to one another not being rude to others, for shame. I digusted with you guys today.

  8. Kayse says:

    I am so over the moon because a real government recognized by mmhhh Shiinbiraha dooxa Hargeisa appointed me and now I will meet with Kofi ma cabtaa and Heblaayo Clinton to resolve the dispute in Sool with the few horsemen.

  9. Abdi2 says:

    Well done Hagaltoosiye for choosing the path to peace, your people will benefit from this immensely. With stability comes economic development, education and wealth. The next step is to stop and prevent criminals bent on destabilizing the region and sewing the seeds of hatred between region's inhabitants from brain washing youth and children in the region, by allowing them to attend schools in sool and re-educatate them. Message to the the hatefull diaspora : use your money to help build these regions and help your people on the road to economic prosperity instead of buying guns.

    • Abdullahi says:

      You idiot don't call diapora enemies, go head and appauled a violent man with a criminal history.

  10. Abdi2 says:

    Tribalism never builds anything except destroy a nation and its people. Don't let your kingsmen fool you into believing tribalism is the answer, support the democracy and justice that exists in Somaliland and you will enjoy its fruits.

  11. khaatumo citizen says:

    looool Somaliland is getting desperate. is it because the new constituation of Somalia.. Kayse Abdi Yusef is a warlord so is Sii'lanyo I don't know why you all making big deal out of it. plus how can u all be so naive Kayse Abdi Yusef joined former SSC group so he can get his abtiyo's attention which he did actually, his mom and Sii'lanyo are every close properly 3th or 4th cousin. how do u think he killed countless somalialnd troops in Kalshaale and still chews Khat in Morgan's house. people back home are aware of this.

    Siil'anyo doesn't know how to rule a country he's a rebel leader if you consider him something more well that's all up to u.. isn't.
    I'm looking forward the new somali government.

    • mohamed cheers says:

      The peoples democratic civil liberties societies of Somaliland popularly elected Vetertan President
      Silaanyo of the Kulmiye party by overwhelmingly sweeping landslide victory against the other
      leading parties of the Country. Calling him a rebel is utter nuisance and despicably outrageous.
      The new Somali Govt is in Somalia and has nothing to do with Somaliland. Kayse Abdi Yusuf is a
      Somalilander serving his Country. Sorry to say that your comments are out of proposition and carry
      empty malicious rhetorics.
      Cheers.

      • Warqabe says:

        Khaatumo Citizen
        Somebody told you unfounded lies about Kayse Abdi. I'm the uncle of Kayse and we don't have any blood relations with President Silanyo at all. I do believe that you always get your information from unreliable sources.

    • kabocalaf says:

      Khaatumo Citizen
      You may have a point you know. Rebel leaders never make good country leaders. You need different skills for that. I think Silanyo genuinely wants to build peace but I doubt he knnows how.

  12. Weerar says:

    The government is heeding to the suggestion of Xaqsoor organization and its wise leader Muj Hassan Esse Jama. finally it get over with its rhetoric, and get down with some confidence building measure. Kudos for the current government.

    Somalilandpress's propaganda does not and will not work; Khatumo State is here to stay; helping to lead our federal government in Mogadishu. and soon Sool and Sanaag region; obviously Cayn – The beacon of Khatumo State proved to the much hyped Somaliland Army that .. hey.. you ain't that much hence the blue flag waving proudly in buhoodle city. as for Xaglatoosiye and Kayse who both have no following and positions in Khatumo land are playing dice and cards with Somali land… enjoy entertaining our drop outs. khatumo Media needs this kind of material for our comic section.

    • Hornid says:
