Qoraaladda Dr. Jama Elmi (Radiossc.net): The Chairman of Puntland Parliament Hon Osman Dalmar Yusuf on Monday voiced outright rejection of any bargaining over the SSC regions of Somali and stressed that PL remains open to constructive and open dialogue.

 

"PL remains open to any constructive and frank dialogue for a settlement within the framework of our territorial integrity and national sovereignty, over which we will never, I repeat never, accept any bargaining," said the Chairman in a speech aired on the Radiossc.net on the occasion of his visit to Sool capital city of Lasanod.

 

To the opponents of Somalia's territorial integrity, Hon Yusuf said democracy is the best way to take to settle the artificial problem created around the Somali's Northern provinces. "Democracy, which we have chosen as a civilized way to run the nation's affairs, is a great asset which strengthens the domestic front and consolidates the country's unity," he said, adding democracy "is the best avenue to follow if we are to end this artificial problem once and for all."

 

The Chairman of PL parliament further underlined that defending Somali's territorial integrity is a decisive battle and called for a general mobilization to win this battle. "I must stress again to my PL followers that the real battle ahead is not a mere fight between individuals, groups, parties or associations, and that differences of opinion over the running of public affairs should not make us forget that the decisive battle for us consists in defending tenaciously our territorial integrity, to ward off any threats or dangers and to foil any plot against it," he said.

 

Hon. Yusuf voiced pride "We are also proud of the backing we have received from friendly and sister nations who have realized that ours is a just cause," he said, adding this unanimous support Somalia enjoys from for this sacred cause constitutes a source of strength to us.

 

Uttering Somali's infallible and indefectible attachment to the Somalis identity of the Northern Secessionists, the Chairman stressed that "in the Northern Provinces, Somalia is in its own territory." Mr. Dalmar stressed unshakable readiness to defend Somali's territorial integrity whatever the sacrifice and regardless of the plots. We all stand ready to defend the country's territorial integrity, whatever the sacrifices and regardless of the plots and conspiracies that need to be foiled," he said.

 

"Preserving our territorial integrity is a pressing duty which warrants all-out mobilization, constant vigilance and efficient action, in order to close, once and for all, the dispute that has been created artificially by those who adamantly and aggressively challenge the fact that the North Provinces is Somali territory," said Hon. Dalmar.

 

The Chairman slammed the enemies of Somalia's territorial integrity and their attempts to balkanize the Somalia. "They (the enemies of Somalia's territorial integrity) eventually unmasked themselves as the real opponent and are eager to impose, through separatist pawns, total domination over our Northern provinces," he said, adding "Instead of contributing sincerely to building a strong Somalia Union on sound foundations, this opponent has gone as far as to raise the question of partition, which is bound to end in the whole region being balkanized.".

 

"Such a hostile attitude has constantly thwarted all attempts to reach an equitable settlement through negotiation and by consensus, and offered only insidious solutions instead," H.M. Hon Dalmar concluded.
