    Puntland has refused to attend a meeting of Somalia’s National Consultative Council, highlighting its growing differences with the federal government. The boycott comes after disagreements over constitutional amendments, which Puntland had already objected to. The decision has further jeopardized national unity and casts doubt on the future of the country’s governance model.

    Puntland’s Boycott of the National Consultative Council Meeting: Reasons and Implications

    Puntland’s decision to boycott the National Consultative Council meeting marks a significant political turning point, as it accounts for about 30% of Somalia’s total land area and is a key component of the economy. The dispute centers primarily on the federal system and constitutional amendments, where Puntland has opposed at least 3 major government policies over the past year. The region had already seceded from the federal system, deepening differences with Mogadishu.

    How the National Consultative Council Meeting Boycott Affects Somalia’s Political Landscape

    Puntland’s absence from the National Consultative Council meeting is further undermining national unity, while more than 5 regional states are already facing political tensions with the federal government. In the past 10 years, Somalia has experienced at least 10 constitutional disputes due to governance issues, fueling differences between regional and federal authorities. Puntland’s continued opposition could also serve as an example for other states seeking greater autonomy.

    Future of Federalism in Somalia After Puntland’s National Consultative Council Meeting Boycott

    Following Puntland’s withdrawal from the National Consultative Council, concerns have grown about the future of Somalia’s federal system. More than 60% of the region’s leadership favors greater autonomy, while national legislators are sharply divided on the issue of decentralization. In the past, Somalia has attempted several constitutional reforms, but only 2 major amendments have been effectively implemented in the past 15 years.

    Puntland’s boycott of the National Consultative Council meeting highlights the ongoing struggle over the federal system and the growing political rift in Somalia. Comprising 30% of the country’s land area and a leader in efforts for autonomy, Puntland’s absence poses a new challenge to national unity. If this conflict is not resolved, this political division could affect Somalia’s governance model and could also influence the future positions of other regional states.
