MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – The leader of northern Somalia’s Sool, Sanaag and Cayn state (SSC) Abdulkadir Firdhiye said on Tuesday politicians from the region will not participate in an upcoming election in neighboring Puntland state.
Speaking during a visit to the Somali capital Mogadishu, Firdhiye stated that residents and elders in the region decided not to select MPs who would represent them in Puntland state.
The remarks come as local authorities seek recognition from the federal government as the country’s 6th regional state, months after dislodging Somaliland troops major towns in the region.
