On 6 October 2023, an SSC delegation led by Firdhiye was invited by Somalia Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre to visit the Somalia capital Mogadishu. In response, Faysal Ali Warabe, Chairperson of the Somaliland Opposition Party UCID, said, "Firdhiye does not represent Las Anod and the town will eventually be returned to Somaliland."[13]
