In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Puntland's Minister of Information, Abdullahi Ali Hirsi Timo-Adde, spoke about Puntland's plans and the steps it will take after the failed Afisyon conference.
Timo-Adde has announced that Puntland is ready for a lasting solution to the electoral crisis, and that President Deni will remain in Mogadishu.
He also expressed optimism that a reunion would be held to resume talks between the federal government and state governments.
"We will stay, we will stay, and we expect a reunion, this is not going to break up," said Minister Timo-Adde.
The Puntland Minister of Information also added that Puntland wants to save the country and that it is the one who made the concession.
"We are the ones who are compromising. We are the ones who want to save Somalia. We are the two regional governments and we are ready to go to court wherever they come together," he added.
Finally, he underlined that Puntland stands for the rule of law and the rule of law in the country, accusing the Federal Government of Somalia of violating the terms, which he described as being too divisive.
The statement came as the central government announced that the recent talks at the Afisyon Tent in Mogadishu had failed, blaming the leaders of Jubbaland and Puntland.
