Mogadishu (PP Information Desk) — Reviews from Hargeisa recommend that Muse Bihi, the President of Somaliland administration, has deployed further troops to Oog in anticipation of potential clashes with SSCK forces. An analyst in Hargeisa outlined two key points of Bihi’s battle technique. “Bihi exploits conflicts to delay elections, as evidenced by his discussions with Speaker Yasin Faratoon, who declared unresolved conflicts as a barrier to elections,” said the analyst. Bihi faces slim reelection prospects however his marketing campaign is pushing a story blaming Waddani, the principle opposition occasion, and its supporters for the defeat of Somaliland forces at Gooja’adde foxholes in August 2023.
Bihi acknowledges Puntland’s dedication to defending SSCK territories however his advisers are scrutinising the ambiguous SSCK-Puntland relationship. SSCK chief Abdulkadir Aw Ali (Firdhiye) fears nearer ties with Puntland might thwart SSCK’s aspirations as a federal member state. Firdhiye hesitates to just accept Puntland’s budgetary help as a result of SSCK’s standing inside Puntland beneath federal electoral legal guidelines.
At the moment, SSCK’s interim administration depends on contributions from the diaspora. Firdhiye has been criticised for damaging SSCK-Puntland relations. Puntland State of Somalia helps the February 6, 2023, Laascaanood declaration. “Firdhiye’s management tenure is in jeopardy except he alters the notion hindering SSCK-Puntland relations,” cautioned a member of SSCK authority in Laascaanood.
