BOSSASO, Somalia Feb 14 (Garowe Online) - The regional president of Somalia's Puntland State government cautiously welcomed new Somali Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmake, while warning strongly about upholding the federal system of government in Somalia, Radio Garowe reports.

 

Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed "Farole," Puntland's newly elected president, held a press conference Saturday in the port city of Bossaso.

"We welcome the new Prime Minister, although I do not know him personally, but we all know he is the son of a famous Somali leader," President Farole said, while referring to Abdirashid Ali Sharmake, Somalia's last democratically elected president who was assassinated in October 1969.

Somalia's new PM, Mr. Sharmake, is a ***** clansman who hails from the northern region of Puntland.

 

Puntland's leader said the regional authority was "not consulted during Djibouti peace process," yet he expressed support for any initiative that can bring last peace to Somalia, "especially the southern regions."

 

President Farole reiterated that the regional authority's constitution stipulates that Puntland can only be part of a federal government in Somalia, while warning against any effort to exclude Puntland from the future formation of a national constitution founded on federalism.

 

Meanwhile, Dr. Farole welcomed the Djiboutian government's efforts to find peace in Somalia. He indicated that he will lead a Puntland delegation to Djibouti soon, after receiving an official invite from Djiboutian President Ismail Omar Ghelle.

 

On Friday, Puntland President Farole gave Friday's religious sermon and led prayers at Da'wah Mosque in Bossaso, where he reportedly called on religious leaders to support the government's efforts to combat crimes including piracy and human trafficking.

 

President Farole also encouraged Puntland's Islamist community to take leading role in educating the public about "spoilers who misuse the clan system, promote insecurity or misinterpret the Islamic faith."

 

It was the first time a Puntland leader has addressed congregants at one of Bossaso's largest mosques. Dr. Farole also became the first Puntland president to lead prayers at a mosque in Garowe, the capital of Puntland.

Masha Allah , that will now spare him the wrath of Abu Mansoor...

^^ Bowing your head five times a day does not make you a pious Muslim.

 

Hosting Ethiopian troops and handing over innocent civillians to Ethiopia, on the other hand, makes you, at the very best, a repugnant Munaafiq.

 

Nope, don't think Abu Mansoor will have any mercy on this latest Munaafiq to emerge from Garowe.

^^^Both of you are blaspheming. Kashafa you are not an authority on who is a good Muslim or not.

 

Juje, the man is scared of Allah's wrath, and not any man.

^^ I didn't say I was. Just pointed out that there are certain acts that make one a Munaafiq. Aiding Kufaar over Muslims, torturing Muslims at the request of Kufaar, providing supplies, logistics, and camping grounds to a Kaafir army that is massacring Muslims are all included.

 

Faroole is the head of an administration that routinely aids, abets, and assists the Tigray dictatorshop, in ways that go far beyond the scope of this post. Hence, he is a Munaafiq.........at the very best. Ceremonial showboating at a mosque kaama saarayso, abti.
