Did see referrence to it today... a couple of government ministers were
sacked.

Fraid not.  It was the Baidoa "government." The nytimes said:
It also fired the four Mogadishu warlords who held cabinet positions in the transitional government but had flouted calls by their colleagues to stop the fighting.

The four men are Mohamed Qanyare Afrah, who was national security minister; Muse Sudi Yalahow, commerce minister; Botan Isse Alin, demobilization minister; and Omar Mohamed Mohamud, religious affairs minister.

as expected, the article had a map with no indication of the
existence of Somaliland.
