Hargeysa, Somaliland, August 28, 2010 (SL Times) – President Ahmed Sillanyo awarded the contract for laying an underground cable to Somcable.
The government made this announcement in a press release. Actually, Somcable was already awarded the contract by the previous Somaliland government in Nov. 2009, and the current government's decision confirms that previous decision. The fiber optics cable is expected to improve telecommunications in Somaliland and is projected to create employment. The decision to award the contract to Somcable was, however, criticized by some Sultans and Upper House members.
