One Nation, One Army — Somaliland Stands United

By Waryatv National Desk

In a historic achievement, Somaliland’s Vice President Mohamed Ali Aw Abdi and Commander of the National Army, Brigadier General Nimcaan Yusuf Osman, have completed what many thought impossible: ending militia divisions and securing national unity under one flag, one army.

This mission — launched in February 2025, just weeks into the new government of President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro — has reshaped Somaliland’s future.

From Conflict to Control: Erigavo and Beyond

The move came after tensions erupted earlier this year between Somaliland forces and Khaatumo-linked fighters in the east.

As fear gripped communities in Erigavo and beyond, Vice President Aw Abdi and General Nimcaan acted decisively:

• Civilian disarmament across eastern regions.

• Full integration of SSB and G36 clan militias into the national armed forces.

• Direct national control over local security.

Standing at a military ceremony in Erigavo, the Vice President declared:

“The national armed forces have taken control of the country’s defense. Somaliland’s unity is not negotiable — and today, our shield is stronger than ever.”

Overcoming Fear and Division

While skepticism lingered about integrating clan-rooted forces, the bold leadership of Aw Abdi and General Nimcaan restored civilian trust.

By absorbing former clan fighters into the disciplined command of the Somaliland National Army, the government erased parallel loyalties and sent a clear message:
No more private wars. No more divided flags.

Today, every armed man in uniform stands for Somaliland alone.

A Legacy Sealed in 100 Days

In just 100 days, Vice President Mohamed Ali Aw Abdi has delivered the strongest gains for national unity since Somaliland’s reassertion of independence in 1991.

Under his leadership, alongside the steely military strategy of Brigadier General Nimcaan Yusuf Osman, Somaliland has:

• Neutralized internal threats.

• Strengthened national sovereignty.

• Positioned itself for greater international recognition.

This historic transformation marks the beginning of a new chapter:
A Somaliland that speaks with one voice — and defends itself with one army.

One Nation. One Army. One Future. Somaliland stands stronger than ever
