Somaliland Opposition Accuses Government of Increased Rebel Groups

Hargeysa(Mogadishu24)-The Somaliland Opposition political parties have raised serious accusations against the government, pointing to a massive increase in rebel groups within the country, which is attributed to President Musa Bihi's prolonged tenure in power.

The Wadani party strongly opposed the elections schedule released by the elections commission last week, contending that it favours Musa Bihi, given his prolonged stay in office.

The opposition party has levelled serious allegations against the government, citing concerns over the high cost of living, economic downturn, and prevailing political stalemates.

The opposition party also levelled allegations against the government for the high cost of living, economic downturn, and political stalemates.

Khadar Hussein Abdi, the Secretary General of WADDANI Party, expressed concerns about ongoing conflicts, particularly in Las Anod, and the challenging economic situation.

"We are acutely aware that the country has been grappling with conflicts, particularly in Las Anod, along with soaring living costs, a declining economy, and a political stalemate since 2021. We must question the six years of Musa Bihi's rule, during which he inherited a peaceful country with six harmonious regions. However, now, Somaliland faces internal division and conflicts. It has become a place where the formation of militias was unheard of before," said Khadar Hussein Abdi, Secretary General of Wadani Party.
