A large delegation from the International Community representing foreign diplomats accredited to Somalia, who are mainly based in Nairobi, Kenya, would visit Puntland on Sunday, according to diplomatic sources.
The delegation led by the Representative of the UN Secretary-General to Somalia, James Swan, will probably focus on election issues, especially women’s quota in the Lower House of the Federal Parliament and political logjam in Mogadishu.
Expediting Federal Elections in Federal Member States, regardless of political confrontations within the leadership of the Federal Government of Somalia, is the main objective of this mission, according to informed sources in Nairobi.
