Kismayo (WDN) – Jubaland President Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Ahmed Madobe) has issued a stark warning over escalating tensions in Puntland, cautioning that the region could be facing a repeat of the military confrontation that unfolded in Ras Kamboni earlier this year.
Speaking amid growing reports of an alleged federal military build-up targeting Puntland, Ahmed Madobe urged the people of Puntland to safeguard the peace and stability they have built over decades and to remain vigilant against what he described as efforts to destabilize their administration.
“The Friday they are talking about is no different from the Friday of Ras Kamboni,” Madobe declared. “There is no difference. What is being sought today is a ‘Ras Kamboni II’ in Puntland.”
The unusually blunt remarks underscore mounting fears that Somalia’s long-running political standoff between the Federal Government and Puntland could spill over into open confrontation. Although the Federal Government has not publicly confirmed any plans for military action, reports circulating in political and security circles have fueled concerns that tensions between Mogadishu and Puntland are entering a dangerous new phase.
