Lasanod — The Supreme Mature Chief of the SSC-Khatumo administration, Garaad Jama Garaad Ali, has called for pressing dialogue between Puntland and Khatumo authorities, emphasizing the need for cooperation on mutual political and regional pursuits.
Talking to local media, Garaad Jama expressed anguish over the apparent neglect of negotiations between the 2 administrations, warning that such talks are most indispensable for balance and the long-time duration plan forward for both regions.
“These discussions are vital. Khatumo needs territorial expansion, and that can only come through engagement with Puntland,” Garaad Jama said, criticizing present leaders of SSC for prioritizing ties with the Federal Govt in Mogadishu over regional alliances.
In a pointed observation, he added, “The areas we need will not come from Banadir [Mogadishu]; they are within Puntland.”
His feedback device amid growing tensions over the political path of the SSC-Khatumo leadership, in particular within the aftermath of their navy and political victory over Somaliland forces within the contested metropolis of Laascaanood.
Since regaining withhold a watch on of Laascaanood, the Khatumo administration has expanded its impact across loads of districts in northern Somalia, extra intensifying the debate over its political alignment and future governance technique.
Garaad Jaamac’s call would possibly perhaps presumably re-ignite discussions between Puntland and SSC-Khatumo, whose cooperation would possibly perhaps presumably reshape regional alliances in northern Somalia.
