“As I’m talking to you (the press) Somaliland Police Services has captured a militia from Mogadishu, Somalia. We shall in due process reveal their names, the numbers of terrorists captured, and their local cahoots. The militia was sent to Somaliland to create a terrorist cell and wreak havoc on the peace and harmony of the country. We have our evidence and exhibits. We shall parade to the nation at a public place for all Somaliland people to see the enemies of the country”, said the minister.

He ordered security personnel to arrest anyone who tries to go against the ministry of internal security directives pertaining to the locations of the demonstration.

All Somaliland armed forces police, army prisons, immigration, and fire brigade have been put on red alert on the security arrangements of the opposition demonstration.

He said, “I call on all security services apparatus to be vigilant on anyone who tries to disrupt the peace and security of the country.”

He went on to warn the opposition “Any leader who tries to incite or create an atmosphere of insecurity will be dealt with according to the laws of Somaliland. We cannot gamble with the security of our people; it is our most important endeavour.”
