Garowe (HOL) –  Puntland regional state has strongly opposed the newly declared Northeastern Somali Regional State, which was established last week in Las Anod and claims authority over the Sool, Sanaag, and Buuhoodle regions.

In a press statement delivered in Garowe, Puntland Parliament Speaker Abdirisaq Ahmed Mohamed (Qaraaje) criticized the new administration as lacking a clear political vision and accused it of sowing division among communities in northern Somalia.

“It is unfortunate to try to pit people who were defending their land against each other,” Qaraaje said. “We will see how the administration established in Las Anod can work. The Sanaag region has never been ruled by anything imposed on it.”

The speaker emphasized that Puntland had previously recognized the SSC-Khaatumo interim administration only under exceptional wartime circumstances. However, he described the current development as a direct attack on Puntland’s territorial unity and political authority.

Qaraaje also accused the Federal Government of Somalia of being complicit in fragmenting the country, stating that “the federal government is attempting to divide the nation into conflicting regional entities.”

His remarks follow the conclusion of the SSC-Khatumo state formation conference in Las Anod on Wednesday, where elders, politicians, and civil society representatives formally announced the establishment of the Northeastern Somali Regional State. The gathering dissolved the interim SSC-Khatumo administration and ratified a new constitution aligning the region with Somalia’s federal system.

The final declaration from the conference underscored the principle of local ownership, noting that long-standing disputes were resolved through community-led dialogue. Proponents hailed the formation of the new state as a path toward greater inclusion, peace, and cooperation with the federal government.

However, the declaration has triggered political tension, particularly with Puntland and Somaliland, both of which have laid claim to the contested regions. The development marks a significant shift in the region’s political dynamics, potentially reshaping federal-local relations and complicating Somalia’s fragile state-building process.
