Reliable sources from Garowe, the capital of Puntland, confirm that closed-door meetings are currently underway between Jubbaland President Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Ahmed Madobe) and Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni. These meetings, ongoing for the past three days, have been tightly guarded, with no official information leaking about the topics under discussion.
Notably, the two leaders are said to be meeting without any additional participants or aides, which explains the unusual level of secrecy and the lack of public details. It is believed that they are privately exchanging views on critical national matters.
Ahmed Madobe and Said Deni are widely regarded as key political figures in Somalia, known for their influence and decisive roles in shaping alliances. Their current political understanding is expected to carry significant weight within the National Salvation Council (NSC) based in Mogadishu — a group that both leaders support and that is firmly opposed to the current Federal Government.
As Somalia faces a sensitive and uncertain political climate, the outcome of these private talks could play a major role in determining the future direction of opposition politics and inter-regional alliances.
