The delegation’s arrival in Diinsoor was met with a warm reception from both community members and local administration. The Ministry of Defence’s statement echoed this sentiment, boldly stating, “Victory is near,” hinting at an imminent escalation in military operations.
President Laftagaren’s journey is reported to be part of a broader agenda aimed at expediting the second phase of an operation designed to “free the country from evildoers,” as stated in the official statement.
Alongside the Defence Minister, the delegation also included the Minister of Planning and other key officials, highlighting the multifaceted approach being taken not only to enhance security but also to address the developmental needs of the area.
