    The recent refusal to recognize Khatoumo State as a legitimate regional state within Somalia, along with the denial of its participation in the Somalia Regional Leaders Conference, raises significant concerns about the political landscape in the country. Such decisions are not only viewed as unconstitutional but also as a reflection of undue political pressure from Isaaq representatives (Deputy Prime minister Mr. Salah Ahmed Jama) in the Somali Parliament. These representatives seem to prioritize the interests of their tribal regime, particularly in the cities of Hargeisa, Berbera, and Burco (Togdheer and Waqooyi Galbeed.)

    It is perplexing that while the federal government of Somalia acknowledges various regions in the South as regional states, it simultaneously forcing three northern regions (Awdal, Sool, and Sanaag) into a unification that favors a tribal regime in Hargeisa. This approach threatens to undermine the integrity of the nation and raises alarms about the potential for fragmentation, particularly concerning the regions of Awdal and Sool. The fear is that these areas could be subjected to external pressures, notably from Ethiopia, which may seek to annexe parts of Awdal’s land and maritime resources.

    Furthermore, suspicions abound regarding a possible clandestine pact between the Hargeisa regime and the federal government. Such an agreement could set the stage for the Isaaq representatives to compromise Awdal’s territorial integrity, potentially selling land and sea rights to Ethiopia while ceding what remains to Djibouti In addition, there is concern that the Sool region could be subsumed by the Isaaq regime, further marginalizing its inhabitants and their rights.

    Given these developments, it is imperative for the Awdal State Movement and Khatoumo State to take decisive action. Engaging with Puntland presents a crucial opportunity to establish a strategic alliance. Forming such a coalition could enhance their collective bargaining power and provide a unified front to protect their interests against encroachment from both the federal government and tribal regimes.

    The situation calls for solidarity among the northern regions. A coordinated effort will not only amplify their voices in the national discourse but also ensure that their rights and aspirations are respected within the federal framework of Somalia. The time for decisive action is now; through collaboration and strategic partnerships, Khatoumo State and the Awdal State Movement can work to secure a future that honors their autonomy and contributes to the stability of the region as a whole.
