Credible reports from key sources indicate that a meeting between President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo and the state Presidents of Puntland and Jubbaland has been canceled.

The reasons for calling off the conference are a condition from Jubbaland on the issue of Gedo region that the Federal Government should withdraw its troops.

The presidents of Jubbaland and Puntland are currently meeting to discuss the current issues and the conditions attached to Jubbaland.

It is still not clear just to why the meeting has been cancelled with insiders stating that there is yet an agreement to be reached by all camps first.

Somalia is going the polls and the public, intellectuals and political parties have vented their frustration at the slow pace of reaching a electoral model deal on time.
