SSC Community of TORONTO Celebrate 4th Anniversary of Khatumo Administration

On a favourably winter evening on January 9th, 2016, a large crowd gathered in the Grand Ballroom of Sheraton Hotel, Toronto, Canada for a historic day. Folks from Toronto’s diverse Somali Community filled the majestically beautiful venues expressing their support of the Somali Union; giving speeches, poetry, modern and folk dance in full display. Several Hundreds were on hand to celebrate Khatumo State’s 4th anniversary. Along with Khatumo’s Former Minister of Social Services Farah Adde Farah, representatives from the Canadian Government and business and community leaders voiced their support to Khatumo.  SSC Community in Toronto hosted the event, which was organized in conjunction with Khatumo Relief Network which is dedicated to supporting development efforts in Khatumo State. The formal part of the event featured several keynote speakers. Each contributed a great deal of history and insight as to how Khatumo has evolved and appreciated by all Somalis around the world.  Additionally, Khatumo Youth groups spoke about the need for Somali Youth to get involved and support positive developments in Somalia; importance of education among Khatumo youth as a mechanism to alleviate poverty and hopelessness.

The event finished with the unveiling new songs dedicated to Khatumo State; the charismatic and fan favourite artist Awale’s wowed the audience with modern songs composed for the occasions.
