Former Puntland president visits Somaliland

Abdirhman Mohmoud Farole who disappeared from the stage of politics after he was defeated by the incumbent Abdiwali in marginal vote reappeared once again in Hargaysa the administrative capital of self-declared state of Somaliland.

The motive behind his visit is said to be personal and family matters as he is planned to meet the family of his former wife, who died a year ago after she was allegedly murdered by her own son.

The media was blocked from having an interview with the leader and was escorted to the place he will reside during his visit.

Puntland and Somaliland have severally engaged in gun battle over the control of the two important regions of Sool and Sanag.
