Las Anod (HOL) - The Executive Council of the SSC-Khatumo administration has unanimously given a vote of confidence to the recently appointed secretaries of the Executive Council during a meeting held in Las Anod on Monday.
The leader of SSC-Khatumo, Abdiqadir Ahmed Aw-Ali, who appointed these secretaries on September 12th, along with his deputy and other top administration officials, attended the oath-taking ceremony.
The approval of the council's secretaries comes a month after the SCC-Khatumo forces ousted the Somaliland army from the Sool, Sanag, and Ayn areas, collectively known as SCC-Khatumo, following over eight months of conflict between the two sides.
Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi, speaking a day after the SCC forces seized Somaliland's main base, Gojacade, outside Las Anod, admitted that his forces had suffered their biggest setback during the eight months of conflict in the vicinity of Las Anod town.
The conflict resulted in the loss of over 200 lives, primarily civilians, especially due to Somaliland army bombardments in Las Anod town, where the SCC forces had their main base.
