In the statement, the Danab Commandos accused Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni of steering the region toward internal conflict, alleging that his administration is once again preparing to use military force against fellow Puntland security personnel rather than pursuing dialogue. “We strongly warn against the outbreak of war in Puntland and against any unjustified military assault on the Puntland Security Force (PSF),” the statement said. “This would be the fourth time such internal conflicts have occurred in Puntland, with state security forces being turned against one another,” the statement claimed. The Danab Commandos appealed directly to Puntland’s political leaders, security institutions, and the wider public to prevent further bloodshed among forces drawn from the same communities. “We call on all Puntland stakeholders to prevent the shedding of Puntland soldiers’ blood and to stop efforts aimed at pitting Puntland’s security forces against one another,” the statement said.
