this is a known Puntland strategy to get some of its core demands accepted. It reminds me, the first Garowe meeting, when they were pretending to be against nominating august 2012 parlianment in 4.5 formula. I mean, it is difficult to think that they were not perfectly aware that any system other than the 4.5 was logically possible in Somalia at the time. It Seems that all they wanted was to say well we accepted this in sprit of moving forward and you, the other konfurians, should in return compromise that particular demand of yours too. As i understand the main concern for puntland now is the status of Muqdisho, they prefer Muqdisho to be a neutral city as opposed to it being part of a regional administration. For obvious reasons they also prefer parlianmetary system as opposed to presidential system. Then, why not demand something big and after a difficult negiotiations compromise and then compell others to compromise something big too

. And why not pretend to be against this constitution and ptetend you are not in its driving seat and that it does not serve your interests, if you think that will lead to the support of the constitution by some people who were initially againt because they dont like puntland.
