Hargeisa, Somaliland – In a heartfelt message to the people of Somaliland, Vice President Mohamed Ali Aw Abdi marked a significant national milestone by celebrating the resilience, unity, and progress of the self-declared republic.
“On this historic day, we proudly celebrate the resilience and achievements of our beloved nation. May Somaliland continue to prosper in peace, dignity, and progress forever,” said Vice President Abdi, extending congratulations to all Somalilanders both at home and in the diaspora.
The statement comes as Somaliland commemorates its ongoing journey of self-governance and stability in a region often marked by conflict. Since its declaration of independence from Somalia in 1991, Somaliland has maintained a separate political system and has held several democratic elections, though it remains unrecognized internationally.
Vice President Abdi’s message emphasized national pride and called for continued unity and development, reflecting the aspirations of a people determined to secure a prosperous and peaceful future.
Celebrations across cities such as Hargeisa, Burao, and Berbera featured public gatherings, cultural performances, and speeches from government officials, reinforcing the spirit of solidarity and national identity among citizens.
As Somaliland continues to seek international recognition, leaders like Vice President Abdi use such occasions to underscore the region’s achievements and reaffirm their commitment to peace and progress.
