Hundreds of soldiers have been deployed in the town’s streets to beef up the security ahead of the visit, which becomes the first by PM Khaire since he came to office.

The Prime Minister and cabinet ministers in his delegation will attend the ceremony to mark the 20th anniversary of the inception of Puntland state.
