Former Puntland Leader Opposes Amendments to Somalia’s Provisional Constitution

A former leader of the regional state of Puntland has added his voice to the growing opposition to the amendments being carried out on Somalia’s Provisional Constitution.

Ex-President Abdirahman Farole, who now serves as a Senator in the Upper House, said that the entire process of amending the constitution is “misguided.”

Senator Farole said this on Saturday in an interview with BBC Somalia.

He joins a chorus of leaders such as ex-President Mohamed Farmaajo, ex-President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, and ex-Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Khaire who have all opposed the process.

Senator Farole called on President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud not to proceed with the amendments.
