Las Anod (PP Information Desk) — Abdulkadir Aw Ali (Firdhiye), the chief of Sool, Sanaag, Ceyn, and Khaatumo interim administration said in the present day that relations between his interim administration and the Federal Authorities of Somalia are unsatisfactory. “Our administration is one yr outdated and has chosen to be loyal to the Federal Authorities of Somalia. If our constitutional rights are denied, we must depend on ourselves,” mentioned Firdhiye, addressing the delegation of the Unbiased Constitutional Evaluation and Implementation Fee, which is visiting Las Anod to seek the advice of on proposed amendments to the provisional structure.
“The delegation’s go to is a tokenistic train aimed toward giving unlawful constitutional amendments a veneer of consensus,” commented a retired MP in Mogadishu. Observers have questioned the aim of the delegation’s go to to Las Anod, because the Federal Authorities of Somalia asserts that the bicameral legislature has already voted on the proposed amendments.
Firdhiye accused the secessionist Somaliland administration of instigating renewed battle in Qorilugud, Togdheer. “We are going to defend ourselves in opposition to any aggression. On 25 August 2023, our administration expressed a want to finish the battle peacefully,” he added.
The Unbiased Constitutional Evaluation and Implementation Fee’s delegation can not go to territories underneath Puntland State of Somalia or these ruled by the Hargeisa-based secessionist administration. Questions stay over the participation of MPs and Senators from “Somaliland constituencies” within the subsequent federal oblique elections, particularly whereas the Hargeisa administration claims to have leased coastal territory to Ethiopia for 50 years.
