Jigjiga Favours secessionists over SSC unionists

[Deeq A.]

The Sool clan clan held a conference in Jigjiga from 10 to 15 December 2022. The delegates comprised traditional leaders, religious scholars, and representatives from key sectors of the society. They came from the regions of Sool, Sanaag and Cayn (SSC) in northern Somalia. But most of them also belong to the Sool clan region in the Ogaden. Thus, the overall Sool clan homeland is a huge territory straddling the 700 km long artificial colonial border which is on the map but otherwise they consider themselves to live in the same territory.
