Las Anod (WDN)– In a momentous show of unity and celebration, a high-level delegation has arrived in Las Anod ahead of Somali Prime Minister Hamse Abdi Barre’s long-awaited visit to the administrative heart of the SSC Khatumo region.

Reports from Las Anod confirm that a private plane carrying the delegation, accompanied by elite security forces, landed smoothly at the town’s airport. The arrival of the delegation has ignited a wave of excitement, with locals and officials alike preparing for the Prime Minister’s upcoming arrival.

As security forces tighten their presence in key areas, preparations are underway to ensure that Prime Minister Barre’s visit is met with the warmest of receptions. His arrival is seen as a historic moment for the region, with plans for meetings with Khatumo administration leaders, intellectuals, and a cross-section of the community. The visit is being hailed as a long-overdue acknowledgment of the region’s significance within the broader Somali nation.

For many, the Prime Minister’s visit to Las Anod is more than just an official trip—it’s a homecoming, a symbolic return to a region that has long awaited direct engagement from the central government. The jubilation surrounding the visit reflects the hopes and aspirations of those who see this as an opportunity to strengthen ties and foster a deeper sense of national unity.

Prime Minister Hamse’s visit to Las Anod, SSC-Khatumo, comes at a time when Somaliland is actively pursuing international recognition—particularly in the United States—where its campaign has reportedly found a receptive audience within the Trump administration.

While there has been some opposition to the visit—stemming from past tensions with the Somaliland administration—many view this visit as a chance for new beginnings. The Prime Minister’s arrival is expected to provide a platform for open dialogue and collaboration, signaling a future built on shared understanding and progress.

As Prime Minister Hamse’s delegation continues preparations for his arrival, the people of Las Anod are eagerly anticipating the historic day when they will welcome their leader back to a region poised for greater recognition and prosperity. The mood in the town is one of excitement and optimism, as the community prepares to embrace the government’s commitment to fostering peace, development, and unity in the heart of SSC Khatumo.
