It appears that the Friday meeting between Galmudug State President Ahmed Abdi Karie Qoorqoor and Puntland State President Said Abdullahi Deni in Galkacyo is part of ongoing efforts to ease tensions between regional states in Somalia.
The meeting follows Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre’s engagement with Southwest State President Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen this week.
Such meetings signal a broader initiative to promote dialogue and cooperation among Somalia’s regional leaders.
These discussions are likely aimed at fostering unity and coordination ahead of the upcoming National Consultative Council (NCC) summit, which often addresses critical national issues such as security, governance, and federalism.
The involvement of key regional leaders in these dialogues may help in achieving consensus on contentious matters and improving stability across the country.
