GALKAYO, Somalia, October 26, 2015 (Garowe Online)-Interim Galmudug Administration leader Abdikarim Hussein Gulled said, he favors peace and stability following months of sabre-rattling and heightened tensions in central Mudug region, Garowe Online reports.

On return to tiny south, Gulled expressed his keenness in forging bilateral cooperation in security with Puntland.

Galmudug leader wished that meetings with Puntland President in Mogadishu could yield major breakthrough, yet shedding light on prevailing peace threats.

He unveiled that his fledgling administration talked to Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamea faction, and called on moderate Islamists in Dhusamareb to join quest for peace.

On Al Shabaab, Gulled seemed optimistic about the recapture of fewer areas remaining under the control of Al Shabaab militants in central Somalia.

Territorial disputes have pushed Galmudug and Puntland into war of words, with the latter warning of return to civil war mentality.
