 Political Position of Puntland State of Somalia for the on-going Djibuti reconciliation process |
His Excellency, Mr. Ahmedou Ould-abdallah Special Representative of the Secretary General UNPOSG, Djibouti Political Position of Puntland State of Somalia for the on-going Djibuti reconciliation process His Execellency, As a matter of fact, Puntland State of Somalia, since it’s inception in 1998, has been striving for the achievement of a genuine resolution for the protracted conflict of somalia and restoration of its dignity and statehood in the family of soveriegn nations. In a same spirit, the new administration of Puntland and its people will continue to support any legitimate, meaningful and representative reconciliation of the somali people in the future. However, Puntland administration and its vibrante civil society groups are regretably not represented reasonably in the re-conciliation process under the sponsorship of the United Nations and the International Community, which was going on in Djibouti since last year. Nevertheless, we believe the process is, presumably a national forum that all parties should fairly and authentically represented. and With that objective in mind the process can only be successful. Therefore, It is our paramount obligation, that the new Puntland State Administration, together with its key groups, noteably Non-State Actors, to spell out our sincere and genuine position towards the on-going political process evolving in Djibouti. 1. Puntland Administration shall be part of any poilitical and Social reconciliation initiative for Somalia. 2. The selection of representatives to such iniatives will be jointly undertaken by the administration and its civil society organizations. 3. Any appointment for the new parliament, allocated through the 4.5 scheme within the current Djibouti process and intended for the people of this part of Somalia, shall be forwarded to the administration and hence appointed by respective constituencies and its Civil Society Groups 4. Any new members appointed through informal picks ups and without the consultation of the administration and its constituencies will not be recognized as legitimate representatives of our people. It is also noteworthy to mention that Puntland Administration and its people did not regard the 4.5 allocation system as fair, but shall adopt and regard it as a shock-tharpy until such time when a better system is devised. With my high consideration, please accept my appreciation for your ceasless efforts to restore peace and stability in Somalia. Sincerly Yours Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed (Farole) President of Puntland State of Somalia |
