The President of Puntland State, Said Abdullahi Deni, has requested a consultative meeting to discuss the future of Somalia. President Deni is making this announcement since January 2019 when he assumed office.
Puntland’s President says the meeting will also give stakeholders a platform to discuss and find possible solutions to the current rifts in the region. Members of federal states have been in a tussle with the government of President Mohamed Farmaajo.
President Deni spoke at the end of the 3-day consultative meeting in Garowe organized to discuss issues touching on Puntland. During his speech, the president extended invitation to FGS and FMS to the consultative meeting to be held in Garowe.
Puntland is in the middle of an escalating tiff with the Federal Government of Somalia in Mogadishu. The announcement by President Deni seems to be an admission that Puntland wants to see an improvement in relations between FGS and FMS.
