A meeting held in Kismayo by the Jubbaland traditional elders has largely welcomed the Jubaland government’s position on the issues of elections and the incomplete decisions that came out of the recent national consutative council meeting in Mogadishu, Somalia.
The Jubbaland traditional elders have expressed their displeasure at the political situation in the country, saying that the federal government of Somalia has broken the constitution agreed upon by the Somali people.
The elders have clearly stated that some of the federal government’s actions are against the principles of the constitution, which may threaten the unity of the country and the unity of the Somali nation at large.
The traditional elders have also declared that the Jubbaland government has the right to hold the election which is stipulated in the constitution of both the federal and the Jubbaland state levels.
