Bigger Picture of this move by the President Cirro:
The Commander of the National Army of the Republic of Somaliland, Brigadier General Niman Yusuf Osman Gahanuug, who was appointed by President Cirro, was one of the former officers of the Somaliland Military Force and is the youngest officer to hold that position.
The new military commander is required to carry out the registration of the Somaliland military forces within a month and will use biometric during the registration process as President promised this to register and increase their salaries.
On the other hand the Commander of the Police Force of the Republic of Somaliland, Brigade, Abdirahman Abdillahi Hassan Allale (Abdi Dheere) was the Spokesman of the Somaliland Military Force and was one of the military officers of the country and will lead the Somaliland Police Forces.
The move by the President of Somaliland to register the Armed Forces and the change he made in the Somaliland Military is seen by political analysts as a brave step taken by President Cirro towards the reform of the Somaliland Military Forces, as it is known to the former President of Somaliland Muse Bihi Abdi. Formerly the Military Forces did not dare to register the Somaliland military.
Sergeant Major Nuh Ismail Tani the former commander of the Somaliland Military Forces led the army for a long time and was appointed by President Cirro to be the Presidential Adviser on the Affairs of the National Army of the Republic of Somaliland.
The former commander of the Somaliland Police Force, Major General Mohamed Adan Saqadhi, has led the army for the last 7 years and the position was given to him by the former President of Somaliland, Muse Bihi Abdi.
President Cirro appointed Major General, Mohamed Adan Saqadhi to be the Presidential Adviser on Police Affairs of the Republic of Somaliland.
