The adaptation of the SSC Movement, namely SSC-Khatumo occurred in at the behest of mainly the youth of the city of Las Anod following an assassination that occurred on the 26th of December 2022. These youth began protesting what they saw as a lack of action on the part of the governing secessionist authorities based in Hergeisa to the latest in a string of assassinations that had occurred in the city since 2009 that targeted the city's elite people. As the Las Anod youth began holding street demonstrations against what they saw as an orchestrated eliticide, a paramilitary group funded and trained by Britain called RRU began gunning down the street protesters. Over the next month, a string of traditional elders of the Reer Darawiish tribe began flooding into the city in an attempt to quell the chaos and to instill a sense of peace, law and order and tranquility. Subsequently, the most senior of the chieftains of the Reer Darawiish tribe, namely Garad Jama Garad Ali, publically declared the creation of a new federal state of Somalia, which would be called SSC-Khatumo and would initially consist of the Fiqishini tribe and the Reer Darawiish tribe. Since the incumbent president of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has as of the 2020s not recognized it as one of its member states, the de facto status of the SSC-Khatumo administration is that of a proto state or micronation.What is Khatumo State? http://www.somaliareport.com/index.php/post/3271/What_is_Khatumo_State 27 September 2013 Somalia Report 26 April 2012 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140312061049/http://www.somaliareport.com/index.php/post/3271/What_is_Khatumo_State 12 March 2014 dmy-allhttps://africanarguments.org/2023/02/crisis-in-lasanod-insecurity-border-disputes-and-the-future-of-somaliland/
