Conflicting claims over ceasefire agreement in Las Anod raise doubts over peace prospects

[Deeq A.]

Las Anod (HOL) - Somaliland's President Muse Bihi Abdi announced on Thursday that traditional elders in Las Anod have accepted the ceasefire and agreed to meet with Somaliland's counterparts in Yagoori in the Sool region to end the conflict peacefully. However, Garad Jama Garad Ali, a traditional elder from Las Anod, who spoke to Gaylan Media, denied a peace meeting being organized and further accused the Somaliland government of mobilizing its forces. The discrepancy in claims between the two parties raises questions about the prospects of ending the conflict and the credibility of the parties involved.
