This statement from the Puntland government clears the way for a larger conference between Puntland clans. Deni cannot magically announce that SSC Khaatumo is a State without the approval of the founding clans. He was elected to preserve the constitution of Puntland and he cannot possibly transgress beyond his limit.
Deni has done everything for dhulbahante so they can gain back their pride, dignity and self respect, he supported them orally, militarily and financially when HSM and his stooges were in cahoots with IOG who was arming Somaliland. He sent his generals and especially trained sharpshooters to participate in the fight killing more than 30+ high ranking military officials of SL. Dhulbahante should've been loyal to the only politician who lent them a hand, even Dhulbahante Garaads clearly stated that victory wouldn't have been possible without the support of Deni. Instead they backstabbed him, forged an alliance with the man who supported SL during the war, accepted his sham constitution, accepted his sham elections, approved his plans to invade and destroy JL, and NOW have transgressed against Warsangali, a loyal PL clan which has categorically refused to be part of their so called "conference".
SSC Khaatumo has chosen the wrong side, undoubtedly abandoning their brethren who liberated their land. They shall taste the sour reality of their actions.
More actions to come.
