This issue is complex, and personally wished more heavy weight positions, came from Maakhiri side and have a good final discussion before SL delegation. not rush to any deal, The position put my Maakhiriis is great, and let us see if SL is serious, or just want to play time.
I have said it here, many times, SL value this place far more than PL, but how far they want to go and genuine honest discussion/negotiation, it is hard to say. We all know what happened to Khaatumo leaders, who were serious in negotiating with SL.
The Maakhir people must come together and honestly re-assess their situation, PL has been disaster for them, SOMALIA , NOw shabaab and rogue leaders in charge, nothing good coming from SOMALIA.
Still if Maakhiris in Sanaag go with SL, there is large chunk of Maakhiris in Bari/PL region.
