Garowe (HOL) - Puntland regional state leader, Said
Abdullahi Deni, opposed the decisions made at the National Consultative Council
(NCC) meeting held in Mogadishu last week.
Speaking to local reporters in Garowe on Saturday, Deni said
that the four-day meeting lacked consensus and did not serve the interests of
the Somali nation.
"A few people making decisions do not truly reflect the
community's feelings; it is a waste of time. I hope common sense prevails and
these individuals accurately describe the complicated situation in the
country," said President Deni.
Deni also highlighted the insecurity in many parts of
Somalia and the significant differences in opinion among the Somali people. He
emphasized the need to work on uniting the people.
Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud concluded the
four-day National Consultative Council meeting in Mogadishu on Friday, which
was attended by the country's federal and regional state leaders.
The federal and Federal Member State leaders discussed
security issues, endorsed amendments to the first four chapters of the
constitution, and urged parliament to accelerate work on approving the
remaining chapters, considering past agreements reached by the National Consultative
Council.
