The leader of SSC-Khaatumo is now the proud owner of a bulletproof vehicle.
Abdikadir Firdhiye, the SSC-Khaatumo leader, received the vehicle from several traditional elders.
They donated the car to Firdhiye in Mogadishu on Sunday.
Firdhiye recently held a number of high-profile meetings with senior government officers in Mogadishu.
He convinced the government to recognize SSC-Khaatumo as the newest regional state too.
