WHY PUNTLAND MUST CAMPAIGN FOR A STINT IN VILLA SOMALIA
COMPETING for Somalia’s Presidency is consistent with the founding principles of Puntland as the First Pillar of Federal Somalia. There had been some setbacks in this regard in the past few years. Renewed interest now in Puntland to reset its national policy objectives at federal level is now being symbolized by Puntland President, Said Abdullahi Deni. Slowly but surely, President Deni has understood the importance of Puntland historical role in the federation. It is a commendable political stand to ensure that anti- federalist forces led by Farmajo’s political shenanigans and betrayal of national accord enshrined in the Provisional Federal Constitution wouldn’t succeed.
Without Puntland principled show of democratic forces and leadership, the modest gains of Puntland historical struggle since the First Opposition Force, The SSDF, to Central Tyranny in Mogadishu, are in jeopardy. It is in the vital interests of Puntland and Somalia that the State keeps engaged in Federal affairs and its leaders play in the forefront of Somalia’s governance. Puntland needs leaders with national vision and have political ambitions to ensure that Somalia wouldn’t fail again.
