Was Said Deni an enemy of SSC Khatuumo when he approved the funding of the war effort in LA from the coffers of Puntland? Something even Firdhye acknowledges.Dulos has the right to achieve their goal, a complete federal status.
Why did so many of their young people die?
How to achieve their objective of becoming a federal state if they do not agree and work and cooperate with the Somali Federal Government?
Dhulbahante did not harm Puntland.
Said Deni is an enemy of SSC Khatumo and does not want SSC Khatumo to obtain official federal status .
Imagine calling Deni an enemy after all the support he provided. Hill Harti would have been not been possible without full support from Deni’s administration. Something an enemy would not have facilitated.
Deni has stated on numerous occasions that he respects and accepts the people of SSC self determination and wish for their own state. He is absolutely right to ask for clarification about the future relationship between the two states.
Puntland’s constitution includes Sool and Sanaag and was something that was agreed upon decades ago by the elders. With the new reality of SSC Khaatumo, the constitution needs to be changed but this requires talks between the different parties so that a settlement can be reached and we can move on as two neighbouring federal states.
