A controversial Somali news outlet gives an interview to the outgoing US Ambassador Larry Andre

Key topics discussed:
  • He stresses upon the importance of delineating the roles and responsibilities of the FMS & FGS and finalizing the constitution which in turn will bring about "predictable governance".
  • He has underlined the importance of Puntland to Somalia's state building process. Should PL not attend the NCC, Larry Andre advised Deni to state to his position on topics of concern to Puntland in regards to its dispute with the FGS to which he received no response (on two separate occasions).
  • The interviewer brought up the International community's statement on Puntland's local elections which according to him, was a sign of support to Deni (the ambassador advised him to read the entire statement). The ambassador welcomed the local elections to be held in PL, says that 1M1V is very much needed to replace the current selection system which was grossly mismanaged in 2020.
