| 2023-06-26 |
| [GOOBJOOG] Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... President Abdullahi Deni has made changes in the police command in Nugaal, Karkar, Gardafu and Sanaag regions following deadly festivities last week in the capital Garowe that claimed about 30 lives. In a decree on Saturday, President Deni appointed Mohammed Ali Ahmed as the police commandant of Nugaal region whose headquarters is Garowe. Ahmed replaces General Hussein Ali Mohamud who now moves to Karkar region as the police chief. General Adan Ahmed Ali now becomes the police commandant in Sanaag region while Fuad Mohamud Hussein was moved to head the police command in Gardafu region. Lieutenant Colonel Qasim Jama Shire was alo appointed the head of the Danab Special Forces squad in Puntland. |
