  Unlike Puntland, the breakaway region of Somaliland has firmly distanced itself from these amendments. Somaliland authorities maintain that they have never been party to the constitution utilized by Somalia, underlining their longstanding separation from the central government's legal framework.
  
  Ali Hassan Mohamed, Somaliland's minister for information, reiterated the region's stance, asserting that they are unaffected by outcomes in Mogadishu. He mentioned Somaliland's historical rejection of Somalia's constitution, dating back to the nation's inception in 1960. Mohamed highlighted that Somaliland's interests lie outside of Mogadishu politics, emphasizing a desire to avoid exacerbating existing political divisions within Somalia.
