This falls on the heals of a powerful civilian uprising in the SSC regions, where the newly formed SSC Khatumo administration has elected a leader (president), deputy leader, and a 45 member governing body (parliament). SSC-Khatumo troop movements in and around Laascaanood has been reported, as they make preparations for a final push to evict Somaliland troops from the Sool region.
Meanwhile, concerns are growing over the Federal Government of Somalia silence and inaction over developments in Northern Somalia, with many suspecting that Villa Somalia on behest of Ismail Omar Guelleh, President of Djibouti, is collaborating with Somaliland to subdue the legitimate uprisings of various communities in northern Somalia.
