Puntland Government Issues Stern Warning Against Unilateral Constitutional Changes in Somalia


Introduction: In a recent development that underscores the ongoing tensions between Somalia's Federal Government and the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, the Puntland government has issued a stern warning against proposed changes to the Somali Transitional Constitution. The region, known for its historical commitment to consensus-driven governance, has expressed deep concerns over amendments made without broad agreement, sparking controversy and threatening the nation's fragile unity.

Pivotal Role in Somali Governance: Since its pivotal role in the 2004 Mbagathi Conference and subsequent Garowe agreements, Puntland has been instrumental in shaping Somalia's post-conflict governance. These efforts culminated in the adoption of the Transitional Constitution in 2012, a milestone achieved through extensive deliberations and consensus among Somali stakeholders.

Challenges to Constitutional Integrity: Puntland officials have emphasized Somalia's commitment to a federal, democratic, and multi-party system, enshrined in the Transitional Constitution. However, recent moves by Somalia's Federal Government to propose amendments without broad agreement have raised serious concerns. Of particular contention are proposals perceived as threatening national unity and contrary to Islamic principles, diverging from agreed-upon constitutional frameworks.

Violation of Cooperative Spirit: The Puntland government has voiced its dismay over the exclusion of its input in discussions regarding constitutional changes, particularly in the National Consultative Forum (NCC). Such actions are seen as a violation of the cooperative spirit intended for the nation's recovery and governance, undermining the established federalization, reconciliation, and power-sharing agreements.

Call for Dialogue: Despite these challenges, Puntland remains committed to dialogue and consensus-building. The region has extended invitations for discussions with the Somali Federal Government, emphasizing the importance of maintaining national unity, federal system integrity, and adherence to the agreed-upon interim constitution. However, these overtures have thus far been ignored by the sitting president, further exacerbating tensions.

Formal Notification of Non-Compliance: In a decisive move, the Puntland government has formally notified Somali national authorities and international stakeholders, including key actors such as the US, UK, EU, UN, AU, and others, about its stance of non-compliance. Should the proposed constitutional changes proceed without collective agreement, Puntland asserts that it will neither comply with nor acknowledge any unilateral alterations to the national constitution.

Conclusion: The latest developments underscore the deep-seated divisions within Somalia's political landscape, with Puntland emerging as a key protagonist in safeguarding constitutional integrity and the principles of federal governance. As the nation navigates these challenges, the imperative for dialogue, consensus, and respect for established frameworks remains paramount in ensuring Somalia's stability and progress towards lasting peace and prosperity.
