The government has once more urged the people of the nation to be vigilant in safeguarding and maintaining peaceful order and stability as the nation goes to polls in about five weeks’ time.
This was stated following the 133rd session of the council of cabinet meeting that was chaired by the Head of State H.E. President Musa Bihi Abdi.
They discussed the preparations for the elections and security in the Thursday afternoon session and sent a message to the people of Somaliland.
Much was analyzed on security issues and elections, as well as a call to the people of Somaliland to step up vigilance against enemies of the nation.
Initially they were briefed on the security of the country by the Minister of Interior, who is the chairman of the ruling Kulmiye party, Hon. Mohamed Kahin Ahmed, who briefed the council on the general security of the country and the Horn of Africa.
The council pondered in depth the preparations for the elections scheduled for November 13, 2024 and on how the ruling party’s efforts to defend its seat third for time is going on.
The cabinet members called on the populaces to be more wary of the enemies of the Republic of Somaliland who want to undermine the existence of the nation and are not happy to see the country make steps in achieving and realizing its aspirations of being a de-jure state.
The members of the public have been asked to collaborate with the security personnel in safeguarding peaceful stability at all times by reporting any suspicious acts or intentions of wayward and treacherous elements they may deem.
Clear instructions were given to all security apparatus and their personnel to be more vigilant than ever in going about their duties.
