Speaking in a press conference in Garow, the state’s Minister of Information, Mohamed Hassan Soo’ade said that elections of Galmudug state’s head in Adaado was equally a sham process and as a result Puntland would also not recognize the newly elected head of Galmudug State Abdikarim Hussein Guled.

His remarks follow pledge by the newly elected head of state of Galmudug who said that his administration would open talks with Puntland and Ahlu Sunna Wal Jama’a in order to resolve any differences.

“Puntland is government and can only go into negotiations or talks with another government and not individuals. Since we do not recognize him or his state, how can he open talks with us,” posed the minister of information.
