Puntland is a nationality?

Why does it need a constitution, I thought it did not want to be a sovereign entity. Did I miss something?

In the United States, each state has it's own constitution. Of course each state's constitution must not be in conflict with federal constitution. For that reason, Puntland's constition is fine as long as it does not conflict with the federal consitution.

 

In the matter of citizenship, it should be change to resident. Anyone who resides in Puntland for six consective months, shall be considered a resident.

The constitution constantly referes to 'Puntland Nationals' inferring that they are citizens of nation called Puntland. So i would suggest that you get your facts right sxb

2. The powers that Puntland State shall cede to the Federal Government of Somalia and the rights that will be preserved shall be determined through negotiation.

 

3. Pending the completion of the Federal Constitution approved by a popular referendum, Puntland State shall have the status of
an independent State
