Somaliland President Abdirahman Abdillahi Irro has expressed his support for Puntland leader Said Deni’s peace proposal aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in the Sanaag region.
President Irro commended the initiative, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and peaceful resolution to regional disputes.
He also praised the efforts of Ethiopian Somali elders, who have been actively mediating in the conflict, acknowledging their role as crucial to maintaining stability in the region.
The Sanaag region, which is claimed by both Somaliland and Puntland, has been a source of tension between the two administrations.
The involvement of traditional elders and regional leaders in mediation efforts highlights the significance of local and cultural approaches to conflict resolution in the Horn of Africa.
President Irro’s endorsement of the peace proposal signals a potential step toward de-escalation and collaboration between Somaliland and Puntland, which could contribute to broader regional stability.
However, the success of such initiatives will depend on sustained commitment from all parties involved and the willingness to address underlying grievances.
