Deni issues serious warning about the country's situation and sends urgent call

Garoowe (Caasimada Online) – The President of Puntland, Saciid Cabdullaahi Deni has issued a warning regarding the political situation in Somalia, accusing President Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud of rejecting an agreed-upon election and obstructing the electoral talks.

Deni has called on all parties in the country to urgently convene a meeting to address the worsening situation and to save the Somali statehood.

The President of Puntland, while delivering a speech at the opening of the 59th session of the Puntland Parliament, stated that there is a need for a framework for the Somali parties to reach an agreement regarding the country's elections.

“The Puntland government calls on all different sectors of Somalia to come together quickly, in order to save the Somali statehood,” said President Saciid Deni.

Deni also accused the President of the Federal Government, Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud, of rejecting the holding of an agreed-upon election and obstructing the discussions regarding the electoral process.

This call comes at a time when the political conflict regarding the federal elections is intensifying, with opposition parties and some regional administrations expressing concern over the process being pursued by the Federal Government.

The Federal Government recently announced that the presidential election in Somalia will be held on May 15, 2027, while the elections for the two houses of the Federal Parliament are scheduled for April 15 of the same year.

} It is still unclear whether Deni's call will lead to an urgent meeting of the political sides, at a time when there is a divergence of views regarding the election schedule and the agreement governing their process.
