Talks Between Puntland And Sheikh Sharif Fail

Nairobi, Kenya, November 14, 2009 (SL Times) – Talks between Puntland’s President Abdirahman Faroole and Somalia’s President Sheikh Sharif which were held in Nairobi, Kenya, this week have failed. The failure of the talks was announced by Puntland’s President Abdirahman Faroole who blamed Sheikh Sharirf’s government for the failure of the talks.
Puntland’s President cited several reasons for the collapse of the talks, chief among which was the reluctance of Sharif’s government to back development projects in Puntland as well as its refusal to honor the agreement that Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid had signed with Puntland.
Puntland’s demand from Sheikh Sharif’s government to back the funding of development projects in Puntland was based on the claim that Puntland is a peaceful region and deserves support, but with the deteriorating security situation in Puntland, this claim has become less credible, which has weakened Puntland’s hand in the negotiations.
