“This constitution is vital in order for our people to reaffirm our unity. I call upon the people to work with each other and to cooperate with the Puntland Government. I also pray to Allah Almighty to bring peace and prosperity to Puntland and Somalia,” said the Sultan.

 

A Puntland traditional elder from Mudug region, Sultan Abdisalam Sultan Mohamud, said: “I believe Sultan Saeed Abdisalam spoke well on behalf of all the traditional elders in Puntland.

“This Constitution allows the Puntland people to consolidate peace and stability in a post-conflict situation. The next steps include formation of political parties,” said Mr. Svensson, who also added in Somali words to the audience’s pleasant surprise: “The Constitution is the basis of government.”

 

 

UNDP officer in Garowe, Mr. Nic Beresford, sent his congratulations to the people and Government of Puntland State.

President Farole

 

Abdirahman Farole, Puntland’s leader, emphasized that today is a historic day for the people of Puntland State of Somalia.

 

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.
