Hargeisa (SLpost) – Somaliland President Md. Muse Bihi Abdi has called on Russia and Ukraine to end the fighting and restore peace and dialogue.

President Bihi speaking at the graduation ceremony of the 7th batch of 410 officers who graduated from the Abdullahi-Askar military campus, has compared Russia’s invasion in Ukraine to the brutal bombardment on Hargeisa and Buroa cities by Siad Barre’s Somalia Military in 1988.

The president said that Ukraine’s current situation can’t be compared to what Siyad Barre’s military has done to Hargeisa and Buroa.

“Kyiv is being bombarded heavily by Russian troops, but I can say that Hargeisa and Buroa were cruelly bombarded more than Ukraine’s capital, they can’t be compared,” said president Bihi.

President Bihi urged to end the conflict in Ukraine and both parties come to the negotiation table.
