we may have certain differences


Explanation:
The continuation of the quotation---"because of what happened", leads me to assume that the speaker knows that the other party is aware of the concrete differences and so uses a more definite term, i.e. "certain" rather than "some".

Example sentence(s):
  • "In this village certain people are promoting discord" rather than "In this village some people are promoting discord".
