Preparations are
taking place in Kismaayo, Lower Jubba Region, to hold a meeting to be attended
by regional administrations and the federal government.
The meeting is
organized by President Hasan Shaykh Mahmud and the newly-elected southwestern
regional President Sharif Hasan Shaykh Adan and will be attended by Somali and
foreign delegates.
The meeting is to
establish a form of political alliance by Jubba, southwestern regional
administrations and the federal government. Members of the intenational
community will be invited to witness how the regional administrations had
confidence in the federal government.
Puntland
administration has not been invited to the meeting. This is to show the world
that the regional administrations in the country were in support of the the
federal government and its operations except Puntland which is to be portrayed
as a problematic administration opposed to Somalia government.
The meeting is
expected to be held in Kismaayo towards the end of December and will last for a
number of days.
Meanwhile, relations
between Puntland and Jubbaland administration has been completely severed since
the leader of Jubbaland, Ahmad Madobe, changed the political direction of his
administration.
The leader of
Jubbaland, Ahmad Madobe, and the president of Puntland, Abdiweli Gas, held
talks twice this month on the motion against Prime Minister Abdiweli and the
meeting to be held in Kismaayo but the talks ended in failure on both
occasions.
Puntland had lent
financial and moral support to the formation of Jubbaland administration and
until now provides medical treatment to Jubbaland soldiers wounded in fighting.
Jubbaland will therefore be the loser as a result of the current disagreement.
