Subject: Commendation for Exemplary Leadership in Combating ISIS in the Cal-Miskaat Mountain Ranges

Excellency,

I write to extend my deepest admiration and commendation for your resolute leadership in guiding Puntland State Defence Forces (PDF) to decisive victories against ISIS in the Cal-Miskaat mountain ranges of the Bari Region of Northeast Somalia. Your unwavering commitment to eradicating terrorism and restoring stability to Northeast Somalia stands as a testament to your visionary governance and dedication to the people of Puntland State.

Under your steadfast command, the mobilization of troops and the galvanization of public support have proven instrumental in turning the tide against this grave threat. By uniting citizens and soldiers alike in a shared cause, you have not only bolstered morale but also reinforced the collective resolve to safeguard Puntland’s stability and security. The success of this campaign underscores the effectiveness of your strategic acumen and hands-on leadership, which have inspired both confidence and courage across the region.

The liberation of the Cal-Miskaat area marks a pivotal milestone in countering violent extremism, paving the way for lasting peace and prosperity. It is heartening to witness how your administration’s efforts have curtailed ISIS’s influence, protected vulnerable communities, and restored hope for a future free from fear. The sacrifices of the Puntland State Defence Forces, local communities, and all stakeholders involved in this struggle reflect the profound resilience of our people—a resilience mirrored and magnified by your own leadership.

As Puntland continues to confront security challenges, I trust that your exemplary stewardship will remain a beacon of strength and unity. The international community watches with respect as your administration sets a powerful example of locally led counterterrorism success.

Once again, I applaud your extraordinary efforts and extend my sincere gratitude for your service to the people of Puntland State. May this victory herald a new era of stability, and may your vision for a secure and prosperous Somalia continue to flourish.

With utmost respect,
