The Buhodle administrators and elders who concurred on the imperative need to avail residents maximum benefits from the central government in Hargeisa, further agreed to cooperate as pertains to the enhancement of local livelihoods, economy and security.
Reliable sources privy to the in-camera meeting outcome reveal that the two sides agreed to deter any anti-Somaliland activities by Khatuumoist at all costs.
