Somaliland state of Somalia speaker of Parliament resigns.

Abdirisak Khalif, speaker of Somaliland state of #Somalia Lower House of Parliament, has resigned after a long absence. Speaker Khalif has left Somaliland in February after Somaliland militias massacred protesters in the historic Somali town of Lasanod, Somalia.

Speaker Khalif’s resignation follows months long civilian uprising that freed most of Sool, Somalia (except Goojacade) from Somaliland militias.

Speaker Khalif stated he decided to resign back in January but stayed in office per request of Ismida SSC and to use his office to help his people’s struggle.

This marks the end of era for the people of Sool & Cayn regions of Somalia. The Dhubahante & Fiqishini tribes have totally rejected secessionism.
