He lived in Nairobi as assistant manager of Amal company in Nairobi. Since 2009, he has had the idea to make Khatumo independent, which affected his work and he was temporarily laid off from the company, but was reinstated shortly after.[3]

On August 5, 2023, he became the President of the SSC-Khatumo with 30 votes out of 45 on the Central Council.[2][4] The election was reportedly a democratic process.[5] He was 51 years old at the time.[6]
On August 25, he visited a hospital in Yagori and delivered a speech.[7] At the speech, he reported that SSC-Khatumo had taken over the Somaliland Force's Gooja-Adde base east of Las Anod.[8] On August 26, he mentioned the exchange of prisoners of war with Somaliland.[9] On August 27, Firdhiye asked the Somaliland government not to attack Las Anod.[10]

On September 15, Firdhiye demanded that the Federal Government of Somalia recognize that SSC-Khatumo belongs to Somalia.[12]
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]
