Puntland has announced its boycott of President Hassan Sheikh’s proposed unilateral changes to the Constitution

Somalia’s Puntland State has warned against amending the current constitution.

In a statement, Puntland claims that Somalia’s parliament doesn’t have the authority and legality to “create a new constitution.” Puntland said only limited articles need completion.

Puntland also warned that if “attempts to create a new constitution” are implemented it will not uphold, recognise or apply any changes to the constitution that were made without an agreement.
