A federal state president was toppled, and his peers have learnt vital lessons from it

Puntland state President Said Abdullahi Deni traveled 250 km to Qardho to meet with security chiefs and ordered all security forces to remain on alert due to threats from terrorism and piracy. This decision reflects the recent resignation of South West State President Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen, who fled Baidoa under pressure from government forces. Deni stated that Puntland is waging a just war to defend its people and territory.
