Hargeysa, Somaliland, February 06, 2010 (SL Times) – Somaliland’s army
celebrated the 16th anniversary since its establishment.
The Commander of Somaliland’s National Army, General Nuh Ismail Tani
gave a speech in celebration of the occasion. He started his speech by
recalling that at the time of independence, Somaliland had a strong and
well trained army called the Somaliland Scouts, but this army
disappeared during the union with Somalia.
However, with the restoration of Somaliland’s sovereignty, Somaliland’s
army was re-established, because no sovereignty can be maintained
without an army.
Talking to the media at the military’s National Command Center, General
Nuh Ismail Tani said that the preparations for the rankings of the
military are complete but they are waiting for the individuals to
complete the required military training.
Addressing the recent terrorist explosions in Las Anod, Gen. Nuh Ismail
Tani said they are dress rehearsals for explosions in Somaliland’s
bigger cities. Gen. Nuh Ismail Tani criticized the international
community for not providing Somaliland with the military assistance it
needs.
