The President of Jubbaland also praised the officials and the people of Jubbaland who rejected the plan of the federal government, even though many troops from Jubbaland will soon join the federal military.
The conflict between the federal government and the Jubbaland administration has been widely publicized since November 25, when President Ahmed Madobe held the election of the administration. This political conflict later turned into a war in the town of Raskambooni in the Lower Jubba region.
