Somaliland plunged into uncertainty as new rebel group appears
2025-12-04

Text:
A newly-formed rebel group has surfaced in Somaliland, accusing the current administration of fueling tensions and deliberately stoking unrest.

The rebels declared that its mobilisation was triggered by what it described as the dehumanising and degrading treatment inflicted on Somaliland’s former president, who was violently attacked as he attempted to enter the airport in Hargeisa for a scheduled trip to the UAE.

According to their statement, the former president was publicly humiliated, manhandled, and compelled to walk nearly a kilometre to the airport, an act they say epitomises the administration’s escalating repression against their community.
No name. They sound like a tribe or clan group rather than jihadis, but this is only initial information.
