Brigadier General Abdirahman Abdilahi Hassan, the Commander of the Somaliland Police Force, has extended congratulations to Colonel Yasin Abdirahman Abdilahi, one of the officers of the General Command of the Somaliland Police Force, who participated in a high-level knowledge exchange held in the city of Nairobi, Kenya. This knowledge exchange, which focused on Community Policing, was part of programs aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of police officers from 18 countries, including the Republic of Somaliland.
Somaliland Police officers have wrapped up a week-long multinational training program in Nairobi, organized by the United Kingdom and Slovenia. The event united forces from 18 nations, including Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, South Sudan, Zambia, Tanzania, and Somalia, to tackle shared threats like terrorism and organized crime.
Focused on counter-terrorism, intelligence sharing, and border security, the sessions featured simulations and workshops to boost cross-border cooperation. For Somaliland, this marks a key diplomatic milestone, reinforcing its independent policing amid regional instability.
UK support builds on decades of African security aid, while Slovenia contributed EU-style reforms. Participants received certificates at a ceremony attended by envoys, with plans for follow-up joint exercises arranged to sustain the momentum of international collaboration.
