Dhusamareeb (Halbeeg) – The federal government of Somalia is planning hold a mediation conference aimed to resolve the political crisis between Galmudug leaders.
Sources confirm that some of the top leaders of Galmudug state agreed to attend the conference organized by federal government in Mogadishu.
Yusuf Qowqabo, a lawmaker of Galmudug regional assembly told Halbeeg that all of the regional top leaders except president Haaf agreed to participate in the conference.
“ All Galmudug leaders decided to attend the mediation conference in Mogadishu, but president Haaf is yet to agree” Said Qowqabo.
Late last month, the federal government of Somalia has announced that it will mediate the political stalemate in Galmudug state.
Somalia’s minister of interior, Abdi Mohamed Sabriye said the government is preparing conference to resolve the crisis between the leaders.
“The government is worried about the renewed political crisis in Galmudug. We call for a lasting solution for the standoff to move Somalia towards the path of sustainable peace and development” said Sabriye.
Other reports from the area indicate that the government has delayed plans by Galmudug president to announce the cabinet line-up after the sides merged.
Galmudug president Ahmed Dualle Gelle Haaf and Galmudug chief minister Sheikh Mohamed Shakir are in Dhusa-mareeb, the administrative capital of the region while the vice president Mohamed Hanshi Arabey and the speaker of the parliament Ali Ga’al Asayr are in Adado.
The political crisis in the region started after a dispute over power sharing deal brokered by IGAD in Djibouti that ended the rivalry in the regional administration.
