Establishment
[edit]After the collapse of the Somali Democratic Republic in 1991 and the establishment of Puntland on August 1, 1998, the Ministry of Interior and Security was formed. Later, the Puntland government split this ministry and created the Ministry of Security and DDR.
Following its inauguration, The ministry declared a policy of demobilization, which involved disbanding armed civilian groups. Disarmament focused on the physical removal of weapons, ammunition and arsenals from former combatants and faction leaders.
The ministry also initiated a reintegration program aimed at restoring the loyalty of former militiamen affiliated with the collapsed Siad Barre regime and various warlords. This process seeks to reintegrate them into civilian society, thereby reducing the number of individuals immediately available for armed conflict.[4]
