He noted that the future of Puntland is in a multiparty political system, to the applause of the audience.

Regarding the purpose of the convention, President Farole stated that it is “important to adopt the State Constitution in order to solidify our government and to realize the dream of the Puntland people.” Continuing, he added: “Let me emphasize again that Puntland State is part of the Federal Republic of Somalia; Puntland is committed to preserving the sovereignty, national unity and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia.” Speaking to the delegates, the President said: “You are all today representative of the Puntland people. Our people are hopeful and anxious, and so you are obliged to discharge your duties with integrity.” He cited the U.S. Constitution and the Indian Constitution as examples of constitutions adopted by constituent assemblies, in 1787 and 1959, respectively. President Farole described his administration’s steps in democratization process, while underscoring that establishing a multiparty political system was one of the President’s election promises in 2008. The Puntland leader briefed the audience about the government’s accomplishments in security, education, healthcare, environment, drought relief, economic development, and raising Puntland’s international profile, among other achievements. President Farole said his administration considers security as a number one priority and noted that Puntland security forces have been reorganized, trained, and have fought effectively to prevent terrorism, piracy and clan conflicts in Puntland State. President Farole said: “Even while we are engaged with security, institution-building, and federal affairs, we remain committed to advance the democratization process. We expect an equal sacrifice by the people in order to protect the State.” Continuing, the President remarked: “Puntland State utilizes three systems of law that function in parallel fashion: Customary Law, Administrative Law, and Islamic Shari’ah Law. It is Shari’ah Law that is the basis of our State Constitution. Any law that contradicts Islamic law is null and void in Puntland State of Somalia.” President Farole said his vision is for “our people will vote directly to elect their leaders. Our people will be able to hold their leaders to account.” Describing the political community in Puntland, the President said: “The political community in Puntland is one that adheres to the values of peace, tolerance, and good relations with neighbors, and pursues socio-economic development for the State. Puntland has no ambition to seize the land of other Somali communities, but Puntland is committed to self-defense against external aggressions.” Finally, the President declared that the Convention is open and prayed for a successful convention, while thanking the various actors who played key roles in finalizing the State Constitution and organizing the Constitutional Convention. The Puntland Constitutional Convention is scheduled to debate and discuss the State Constitution and the four-day convention will close on Wednesday 18 April 2012. Puntland State, located in northeastern Somalia along Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean coasts, declared itself a state government within Somalia in 1998 and has been relatively stable since its own elected government, policies and security forces.

I can't wait to see President Farole mobilise Puntland Airforce consisting of helicopters and an26, an Army battalion of tanks, technicals, heavy trucks, f350s, bulletproof technicals, naval capacity consisting of mid sized naval vessels and small marine boats. Plus a ground troop armed to the teeth and trained of high caliber with top notch strategy to root out this shabab misfit from Puntland. Your dealing with a powerful state here boys this aint hamar this is a huge state with a huge army with huge stockpile of weapons

Somaliland calling puntland yar lol. Waxas maba ka jawabi somali oo dhan ayaa wada og Puntland even calamku know waa the political heavyweights of Somalia wax lays waydiyo ma aha even david cameron ayaa garowe principle ku oraneyo.

Thats two things only Puntland has imitated, you guys have imitated over ten things I can list off the top of my head!!! Just admit it BRO somaliland is scared of Puntland like there is no tommorow but Puntland is not scared of Somaliland and treats it like its wife having a cry. I've never met one puntland person that is threatened by somaliland and they just all say wa dad cuqdadaysan haloo adkaysto sida african americanka ha loola dhaqmo. Thats xaqiq talk!!! As for mogadishu there is a real rivalry and somalia knows it!!!

It doesn't matter what politicians says, somalidu wa jahiil. Meeshu puntland ay ka firiso ka firsada hadad rabtin success in politics. Its not based on military or politicians its based on constitution its the setting of the rules and if the rules are in your favor regardless of what someone says will not change the laws of the land for the next 1000 years or so. Bal firsada hadi la tabto constitutionka puntland will be up in arms. We know what that can possibly lead too!!! Puntland remains confident
