GAROWE (HOL) - The Puntland government cancelled a public forum Monday evening moments before the Federal elections Committee chairman Mohamed Irro was due to address.
The event organizer, Madasha Daljir Media, said the minister of the Interior, Mohamed Dhabanad ordered the meeting cancellation when all participants were already in the hall.
There was no immediate reason for the move, but it came as Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni sacked police boss Hasan Abdi Yare who had met with Irro earlier in the day.
Irro also met with Deni earlier in the week following the conclusion of the district council elections.
Deni is reportedly planning to join the Presidential race in the upcoming elections.
