The launch ceremony was held in Hadaftimo on Saturday, May 24, 2015, according to the report. However, that date conflicts with the weekday; May 24, 2015 was a Sunday.

The report named Suldan Saeed Suldan Abdisalam as grand sultan of Warsangeli and Mr. Abdihakim Wahabi as governor of Badhan region.

Hadaaftimo town lies 90km east of Erigavo, Sanaag region, according to the report. It also claimed Hadaftimo became the first town to receive such a significant water supply project in Sanaag region, though this claim is attributed to Somaliland Sun.
