Press Release in English: Puntland State of Somalia Garowe PRESS RELEASE January 16, 2011 Puntland’s New Position Towards the TFG of Somalia. Considering the lack of participation, consultation and representation of Puntland Government during the 2008-2009 Djibouti Peace Process which led to the formation of the current Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia; Considering the lack of implementation on the part of TFG of the Galkayo Accord (23 August 2009) and the subsequent Memorandum of Understanding on Security Cooperation (12 April 2010), signed between the TFG and Puntland; Considering the marginalization of Puntland from the international community’s initiatives and funding intended for the reconstruction and development of Somalia as a whole, including past and ongoing training of Somali security forces in countries like Uganda, Kenya, and Djibouti; Considering the TFG obstruction to the timely completion of the Draft Federal Constitution, mainly due to TFG leaders’ unwillingness to actively support federalism for Somalia in violation of the TFG Charter; Considering the TFG lack of progress on security, delivery of public services and establishment of Federal States in accordance with the TFG Charter; Considering the weakness and lack of capacity of the TFG leadership to advance national reconciliation and to put forth a viable and visible way forward for lasting settlement in Somalia during and after the current TFG mandate expires; Taking into account the fact that the TFG has been involved in creating anti-government armed militias aiming to destabilize peaceful regions of Somalia; In an extra-ordinary meeting, the Puntland Council of Ministers has today decided the following: • Praises the international community’s role in providing continued humanitarian and development assistance to Somalia, and especially welcomes the role of the African Union peacekeeping mission (AMISOM) in Mogadishu; • Requests the international community not to endorse or cooperate with the TFG as a legitimate representative of Puntland; • Proclaims that Puntland shall not cooperate with the TFG until a legitimate and representative Federal Government is established and agreed upon by the legitimate stakeholders in Somalia; • Declares that the TFG does not represent Puntland in international forums and calls upon the UN Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) to reconsider its position and support for the TFG at the expense of other Somali stakeholders; • Welcomes, supports and endorses the new U.S. Dual-Track Policy which is based on realities on the ground in Somalia; • Remains fully committed to deal separately with the international community on reconstruction, development and reconciliation matters for Somalia, namely: the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the African Union, the League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Conference, the European Union, the United States, and all donor communities-at-large; • Asserts its firm opposition to any term-extension for the TFG under all conditions; • Calls for and welcomes to host a broad-based Somali National Reconciliation Conference to be held in Puntland. -----END-----

Sharif is the enemy to progress especially Puntland progress and with the recent success of Puntland and President Farole's last successful lobbying in Istanbul where Puntland secured major investments through Public Private Partnerships and that brought many Doctors and Surgeons into the country, and the building/finishing of Garowe International Airport and Bandar Qasim Airport in Bosaso he's scared that Puntland get's more funding/progress and pledges from Donor countries because the Donor countries pay by reputation Puntland is a huge state which is 1/3 of Somalia with 4 million people living in it. It has a good and competent government that is progressing the State in a rapid fashion, that is what is bothering Sharif, that's why he said 'I will not come to the conference if Puntland attends it'. In a nutshell that's all.

Sharif is scared of Farole stealing the lime light, that's all. He's also scared of the new federal constitution and wants to go back to the 1960 constitution which would be a breach of the Transitional Federal Charter.

Thanksful it's a calculated move, Sharif is scared that Farole attends the Donor meeting. He want's to stay in power and tell his fancy lies but Farole who is much more of a shrewd politician and Statesman Sharif could ever be with a proven career record as a politician and who knows how to mingle with the Donor countries and lobby them would certainly convey a different message than the arabic speaking Sharif. That's why he refused coming if Puntland attended the Donor meeting. The man is fighting a battle. He should be confident on his own merits and achievements and not worry about Farole and what he might say to the Donor countries etc.

Daud Mohamed Omar, Puntland Planning and International Cooperation Minister says TFG not fit for purpose and no to extension. Puntland is ready to host new Peace Conference.

Puntland discontinues TFG cooperation, urges UNPOS to review Somalia policy 16 Jan 16, 2011 - 9:43:41 AM The administration in Somalia's stable region of Puntland has issued a strongly-worded press statement announcing a new policy with the country's weak Transitional Federal Government (TFG), while urging the UN Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) to "reconsider" its overall Somalia policy, Radio Garowe reports. On Sunday, Puntland's Council of Ministers held an extraordinary meeting at the State House in Garowe, the capital of Puntland. Daud Mohamed Omar, Puntland Planning and International Cooperation Minister The meeting, which was chaired by Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed "Farole," discussed a review of relations between Puntland and the TFG and concluded with the administration holding a press conference, according to government officials. Mr. Daud Mohamed Omar, Puntland's Planning and International Cooperation Minister, read the press release in the presence of six Cabinet members, including Environment Minister Mr. Abdigani Yusuf Adde, Public Works Minister Mr. Dahir Khalif, Family Affairs Minister Ms. Asha Ghelle, Deputy Interior Minister Mr. Ali Gaab and State Minister for Good Governance, Mr. Mohamed Farah Gashan. Minister Daud answered three reporters' questions after the press release. Answering one question, he stated that Puntland's press conference is in response to TFG President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed's "interference" with a donor meeting in Djibouti, whereby Puntland was invited. "We believe that [President] Sharif's interference is due to the lack of confidence for his own administration, following Puntland's success at the Istanbul Conference [of May 2010] because he is worried about Puntland' s role and influence at the donor conference in Djibouti," Puntland's Planning and International Cooperation Minister Daud told reporters. Puntland cites complaints According the press statement, the Puntland government complained about its exclusion from the 2008-2009 Djibouti Peace Process. Furthermore, the Puntland press statement cited other complaints including the TFG leaders' "unwillingness to actively support federalism for Somalia in violation of the TFG Charter." Puntland condemned the TFG's "lack of progress" on key matters, including security, reconciliation and the establishment of federal states. The TFG was accused of involvement in "creating anti-government armed militias aiming to destabilize peaceful regions of Somalia." Decisions The press statement declared support for the U.S. dual-track policy for Somalia and welcomed the efforts of African Union peacekeeping mission (AMISOM), which guards TFG installations in Mogadishu. The statement declared that "Puntland shall not cooperate with the TFG until a legitimate and representative Federal Government is established and agreed upon by the legitimate stakeholders in Somalia." Furthermore, Puntland's statement said that "the TFG does not represent Puntland in international forums," while urging UNPOS to "reconsider its position and support for the TFG at the expense of other Somali stakeholders." Peace conference in Puntland The statement strongly opposed any term extension for the current TFG, which came to power in Jan. 2009 at the conclusion of the Djibouti Peace Process. Since then, Al Shabaab insurgents gained control over most regions south of Puntland, including many districts of Mogadishu. In recent weeks, reports surfaced that the new TFG Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed "Farmajo" traveled to New York for the UN General Assembly meeting to appeal for international support in extending the TFG mandate by an additional three years. But the Puntland government, which is the biggest domestic backer of the TFG, rejected any such possibility, stating that Puntland "asserts its firm opposition to any term-extension for the TFG under all conditions." The statement concluded with an appeal to all Somalis to come to Puntland for a "broad-based Somali National Reconciliation Conference." Last month, Puntland organized and hosted the national football tournament to be held inside Somalia for the first time in 23 years. Some 15 teams representing 18 administrative regions of pre-1991 Somalia competed, with the team from Mogadishu winning the championship. Located in northeast Somalia, Puntland considers itself a supporter of federal Somalia. Over the past two years, TFG-Puntland relations have been strained due to the TFG leaders' unclear position on federalism for Somalia.
