Kaah Party Political Manifesto: A Vision for a Stronger, Safer Somaliland

Reforming and Modernizing Our Military and National Security Forces

The Kaah Party stands resolute in its commitment to safeguarding the sovereignty, stability, and prosperity of Somaliland. At the heart of our vision lies a bold and transformative agenda for the reform and modernization of our military forces, the strengthening of our national security apparatus, and the establishment of a pioneering National Institute of Security. We recognize that a secure nation is the foundation of progress, and it is our duty to equip Somaliland with the tools, strategies, and institutions necessary to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

1. Modernization of Somaliland’s Military Forces

For too long, our brave soldiers have operated with outdated equipment, limited resources, and insufficient support. The Kaah Party pledges to overhaul Somaliland’s military by prioritizing modernization and capacity-building. Our plan includes:

• Procurement of Advanced Equipment: We will invest in state-of-the-art weaponry, vehicles, and communication systems to ensure our forces are well-equipped to defend our borders and maintain internal stability.
• Technological Integration: Leveraging cutting-edge technology, including drones, surveillance systems, and cyber-defense capabilities, will enhance our military’s operational efficiency and responsiveness.
• Sustainable Funding: Through transparent budgeting and international partnerships, we will secure consistent funding to maintain and upgrade our military infrastructure.

A modernized military is not just a symbol of strength—it is a guarantee of peace and deterrence against any threats to our nation.

2. Reform of Training and Training Camps

The backbone of any effective military is its personnel. The Kaah Party will revolutionize the training of our military, police, and coastal guard forces to produce disciplined, skilled, and professional defenders of Somaliland. Our commitments include:

• Unified Training Standards: We will establish standardized training programs across all security forces, emphasizing discipline, human rights, and operational excellence.
• Upgraded Training Facilities: New and refurbished training camps will be equipped with modern facilities, simulators, and resources to prepare our forces for diverse scenarios, from counter-terrorism to maritime security.
• Specialized Units: Dedicated programs will train elite units for rapid response, counter-insurgency, and coastal defense, ensuring Somaliland is prepared for any challenge.

Our forces will not only protect our land and waters but also embody the pride and resilience of the Somaliland people.

3. Establishment of the National Institute of Security

The Kaah Party proposes the creation of a National Institute of Security (NIS), a visionary institution tasked with shaping the future of Somaliland’s security and defense sectors. The NIS will serve as the intellectual and strategic hub for our nation’s safety, with the following objectives:

• Policy Development: The NIS will craft comprehensive policies, guidelines, and strategies to harmonize the efforts of the military, police, coastal guard, and intelligence agencies.
• Research and Innovation: Through dedicated research, the NIS will elevate standards for police conduct, military operations, and intelligence gathering, while fostering homegrown solutions to security challenges.
• Technological Advancement: The Institute will spearhead the development of indigenous defense technologies, reducing reliance on foreign systems and building Somaliland’s self-sufficiency.
• Coordination and Oversight: By aligning all security forces under a cohesive framework, the NIS will ensure accountability, efficiency, and unity of purpose.

The National Institute of Security will be a beacon of progress, transforming Somaliland into a regional leader in security innovation and governance.

4. Strengthening the Police, Coastal Guard, and Intelligence Agencies

A holistic security strategy requires more than a strong military—it demands excellence across all branches of our national defense. The Kaah Party will:

• Enhance Police Standards: Equip our police with modern tools, training, and community-oriented approaches to uphold law and order while earning public trust.
• Fortify the Coastal Guard: Expand our maritime capabilities with new vessels, radar systems, and training to protect our waters from piracy, trafficking, and illegal fishing.
• Empower Intelligence Agencies: Invest in intelligence-gathering technologies and personnel to preempt threats and safeguard national interests.

Together, these forces will form an unbreakable shield around Somaliland, ensuring safety on land, at sea, and in the unseen battles of information and espionage.

5. A Commitment to Our People and Our Future

The Kaah Party understands that security is not an end in itself, but a means to enable progress, prosperity, and peace for every Somalilander. Our reforms will create jobs, foster innovation, and build a military and security sector that reflects the aspirations of our youth and the resilience of our elders. We will engage with international allies to secure support while asserting Somaliland’s sovereignty and independence in all decisions.

Our Pledge

Under the leadership of the Kaah Party, Somaliland will rise as a nation fortified by a modern, professional, and united security apparatus. The National Institute of Security will stand as a testament to our forward-thinking vision, ensuring that our policies and strategies evolve with the times. We call upon the people of Somaliland to join us in this transformative journey—to build a military we can trust, a security system we can rely on, and a future we can all believe in.

1. A military capable of defending our borders and deterring aggression.
2. A police force that upholds justice and protects our communities.
3. A coastal guard that secures our waters and drives economic growth through safe trade routes.
4. An intelligence network that anticipates and neutralizes threats before they materialize.

Call to Action

The Kaah Party invites all Somalilanders to join us in this transformative journey. Our military and security forces are not just institutions—they are the shield of our nation and the pride of our people. Together, we will build a secure, prosperous, and respected Somaliland that stands tall in the face of any challenge.
