Somalia: Puntland defends decision to cut ties with Somalia government Mon. May 22, 2006 09:02 am. - Moahamed Abdi Farah (SomaliNet) The president of semi-autonomous region of Puntland Gen. Adde Muse Hersi has defended the decision by his administration to severe ties and collaboration with the transitional federal government, particularly with premier Ali Gedi, whom he accused of putting the region’s progress I jeopardy. Speaking with the local media overnight, Gen Adde Muse said the Somali prime minister had attempted in several occasions to pause Puntland’s plan to produce the oil in its soul, noting that the premier has sent letters to states and firms contracted with exploring the resources in Puntland regions asking to stop their mission. In a letter sent to Somali prime minister in this week, Mr. Adde said his government backed out its confidence and cut ties with the transitional government of Somalia. “The government of premier Gedi has no land to rule and we will continue the missions to produce our resources and we are prepared to defend ourselves against any assault” said Mr Adde. President Adde Muse said the solution might come only if Puntland is freed for its resources, particularly its oil reserves. There is high tension between Puntland regional state and the transitional government of Somalia over the natural resources of Puntland regions.
