On Thursday, coalition forces and terrorist groups from eastern Las Anod launched an attack on civilians in the Qorilugud area. Local residents and the Somaliland National Armed Forces swiftly responded, delivering a decisive blow to the attackers and inflicting significant casualties.
These groups attempted a second assault in the Shan Geed area, located between Qorilugud and Buuhoodle. As with yesterday’s attack, they met with even greater losses. This aggression is orchestrated by the Mogadishu administration, aiming to destabilize the democratic process and the imminent elections in the Republic of #Somaliland, which are only days away.
The Somaliland National Armed Forces remain fully prepared to defend the nation’s sovereignty and to decisively thwart any adversary attempting to hinder its progress or disrupt its electoral process.
We once again call upon the international community to recognize that the conflict in the Buuhoodle region is being instigated by the Mogadishu administration in an effort to obstruct the elections in the Republic of Somaliland, now only days from commencement. Source: Somaliland News Agency (SOLNA)
