East Burco Clan’s Bold Step Towards a Brighter Future: Why the Clan’s
Support for Dr. Abdirahman Cirro is the Key to Saving Somaliland
In a historic and decisive moment, the leadership of the East Burco Clan clan has made a bold
and courageous decision to throw their collective weight behind Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed
Abdillahi Cirro as their chosen presidential candidate for the upcoming November 2024
election. This move, which has garnered wide support from all sectors of the clan—including
elders, religious scholars, MPs, and community leaders—demonstrates the foresight and
commitment of the East Burco Clan to protect and uplift Somaliland during a time of political
instability and national uncertainty.
At a critical juncture in Somaliland’s history, the East Burco Clan clan, renowned for its pivotal role
in shaping the nation’s destiny, has once again stepped up to offer a solution to the pressing
challenges the country faces. Somaliland has been on the edge of political collapse under
the leadership of President Muse Bihi, whose administration has been marred by political
deadlock, rampant division, and an inability to unite the people. For the past seven years,
Somaliland’s political landscape has been embroiled in conflict, stagnation, and an absence
of clear direction—a reality that has left many citizens disillusioned and fearful for the
country’s future.
Yet, as they have done throughout Somaliland’s history, the East Burco Clan clan has risen to the
occasion. In an extraordinary meeting held on October 9, 2024, the leadership and all
branches of the East Burco Clan clan came together, deliberated on the state of the nation, and
determined that the future of Somaliland demands change—a change that can only be
realized through the leadership of Dr. Abdirahman Cirro.
The decision to endorse Dr. Cirro is not merely a matter of political preference. It is a
recognition of the critical role that leadership plays in guiding the nation through turbulent
times. Dr. Cirro, with his extensive experience, vision, and unwavering commitment to the
people of Somaliland, represents a beacon of hope. He is the leader who can bring about
the transformative change needed to pull the country back from the brink and set it on a path
of stability, unity, and progress.
This is not the first time that the East Burco Clan clan has intervened to steer Somaliland away
from disaster. The clan’s historical contributions to peacebuilding, national unity, and political
stability have long been recognized across Somaliland’s diverse communities. In moments
of national crisis, the East Burco Clan clan has always been a voice of reason, advocating for the
collective good over individual interests, and today is no different.
Their latest decision to endorse Dr. Cirro is rooted in a careful assessment of the country’s
current situation. They have seen how President Bihi’s administration has failed to deliver on
its promises, failed to unite the people, and failed to guide Somaliland forward. The
East Burco Clan leadership understands that this election is not just about choosing a new
president—it is about choosing the future of Somaliland. It is about ensuring that the
country’s next leader is someone who can heal the divisions, restore confidence in
government institutions, and chart a course for sustainable development.

In their statement, the East Burco Clan clan emphasized the urgent need for a change in
leadership, pointing out that only through a new administration can Somaliland overcome its
current challenges. Their endorsement of Dr. Cirro is a testament to their belief in his ability
to bring about this change and lead Somaliland into a new era of peace, stability, and
prosperity.
For the people of East Burco Clan and Somaliland as a whole, this is a moment of great
responsibility. It is a call to action—a call to come together and ensure that the collective will
of the people is reflected in the outcome of the November 2024 presidential election. It is a
call to vote for Dr. Abdirahman Cirro, a leader who has shown time and again that he has the
vision, the experience, and the integrity to steer Somaliland through these challenging times.
The future of Somaliland depends on the decisions we make today. The leadership of the
East Burco Clan clan has made their decision clear: they stand with Dr. Cirro, and they urge all
members of their clan and the wider Somaliland electorate to do the same. This election is a
turning point in our nation’s history, and by voting for Dr. Cirro, the people of Somaliland will
be choosing a future defined by hope, progress, and unity.
As the East Burco Clan leadership aptly stated in their declaration, the time for change is now. Let
us all rise to the occasion, as East Burco Clan has, and work together to secure a brighter, more
prosperous future for Somaliland under the leadership of Dr. Abdirahman Cirro.
