Political and territorial tensions in Mudug have intensified following Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni’s visit to Dhinowda.
Galmudug says Dhinowda falls within its territory and warned that Deni’s visit could further inflame political and security tensions in the area.
Other reports said local residents welcomed the Puntland president, while the territory remains contested between the two administrations.
The dispute reflects a long-running struggle over territorial and administrative control in eastern Mudug, where political, clan and security interests continue to overlap.
