UN warns of instability as opposition steps up pressure on Farmaajo

He spoke of ‘increased brinkmanship, pressure tactics, and tests of strength’ among Somalia’s political leaders but called for opening up of channels of communication to resolve the stalemate that has persisted for over six months now. But even as Swan sounded upbeat on the resumption of talks between  Farmaajo and the Federal Member States, the key contenders-Council of Presidential Candidates (CPC) on the one side and Jubbaland and Puntland on the other have stood ground against negotiations with Farmaajo. Abdullahi Deni of Puntland spoke at length Sunday night terming Farmaajo a ‘dishonest politician’ only interested in protecting and furthering the interests of his sub-clan. Farmaajo was only interested in Gerbeharey (his home turf), said Deni.
