Garowe (WDN) — Puntland has sharply criticized former members of its security forces who reportedly joined Somalia’s Federal Government before moving into neighboring Galmudug, demanding that they be returned to Puntland and accusing Mogadishu of using security personnel to fuel tensions in the region.
Puntland Minister of Youth and Sports Mohamud Ayid Dirir, speaking at a press conference in Garowe, described the former personnel as criminals and called on the Galmudug administration to hand them over to Puntland authorities.
The minister alleged that the men had been part of a group involved in plans to create instability in Galkayo, the divided city jointly administered by Puntland and Galmudug and a longstanding flashpoint for political and security tensions.
“Some of those who wanted to create chaos in Galkayo reportedly joined the Federal Government forces before moving to Galmudug,” Dirir said.
