The Puntland Government is in negotiations with the TFG President, the new Prime Minister and new Energy Minister with regards to a joint Puntland/TFG development agreement of natural resources which ultimately preserves Range's (and Africa Oil's) current agreements with the Puntland Government and Parliament. Range is confident that a formal agreement will be reached in February 2008.
Note: The new Energy Minister mentioned is the Federal Minister for Energy, not the Puntland Minister - I clarified this with Range.
Where are we at: The official Puntland Government website posted on 3rd February that a draft constitution had been received by the Government. Managed to obtain a copy of the article BEFORE it was removed from the site...copied below.
Google news "draft puntland constitution" to verify this article existed
