Puntland nominates five for the SRRC

    NAIROBI

    The administration of the self-declared autonomous region of Puntland, northeastern Somalia, has nominated five people for positions in the Somali Reconciliation and Restoration Council (SRRC), according to a senior Puntland official. The five would “represent the five regions of Puntland” in the SRRC, Isma’il Warsame, the chief of cabinet of Puntland President Abdullahi Yusuf, told IRIN.

    According to the official, the five - Ambassador Yusuf Umar Al-Azhari from Mudug Region, General Usman Muhammad Samatar from Bari, Ahmad Hasan Bile, from Sool, Awad Ahmad Ashara from Sanag, and Abdiqadir Ahmad Egag from Nugal - are not representing the Puntland Administration, but rather their respective regions. The Puntland administration had nominated them to represent their communities and the SRRC executive council would determine what positions these men would be appointed to within the organization, Warsame said.
