In the Galgaduud and Mudug meeting, water was identified as a priority as well food and health care.

 The Head Heeb: Africa - Politics and Law Archives
The authority of Puntland extends to the city of Galkayo in central Mudug, and militiamen loyal to the judiciary have reportedly been surrounding the city in an effort to oust warlord Abdi Qeibdid.
Qeibdid, who fled Mogadishu when the UIC seized the capital, controls the southern outskirts of Galkayo, and Puntland has been moving troops into the region for weeks in case the fighting spread to its part of the city.
In addition to its own fears of conquest, Puntland is one of Ethiopia's closest allies in the developing regional conflict, and the offensive in Mudug gives all the appearances of being part of an Ethiopian pincer movement.

The Southern Mudug Intellectuals Organisation strongly deplore and condemn the inflammatory ignorant remarks made by the DFS minister for Reconciliation Mr Sheikh Aden Madar in relation to restructuring of Somalia's regions in line with the so-called 'regional states' in future Somalia.
If the minister entrusted for reconciliation in Somalia is behaving in such provocative and irresponsible manner, then, there is no doubt that Somalia is heading towards a real civil war and more social confrontations.
In view of the offensiveness and seriousness of Mr Madar's political remarks, we strongly ask prime minister Ali Mohamed Ghedi to sack Sheikh Adan Madar for the irresponsible political remark he made without sound grounds.
