Yes minerals. The illegal act which Puntland clan warlord has signed concessions against Maakhir clans in the said area is no secret.

As it unfold it was blantant but now out of the hat, Puntland clans vs Maakhir clans. Seems like the peaceful route isn't one Puntland wants but demands war for the obvious, minerals. We shall take this war to their homes and make residence of it.

Thats what your good at.

Why is this of interest to you? We wouldn't care if your people were fighting in Borama against unionists. As this is none of your concern. Stick with your NW posts.

Jacal we have you covered in Garadaag. We will have to tighten our borders when we are done with Pirateland.

Manshallah. SSDF let the games begin. 2012 Pirateland shall be restricted to Eyl. Lets take the fight to Qardho as we did in 1840.

Thankful I've set foot in Bosaaso 4 times and Erigavo 12. Lets not go where the divide is. One clan breaking down and using another for crutches are transparent as daylight. This is not knew and reer Maakhir needs to get it togther before waging on offensive. The Jubba hotels and ect. are but a minority inside and still side with Maakhir. And to blatantly profess Maakhirs status over Bosaaso as ignorant as you are over admin claims over Erigavo shows through. Is not Laas Anod, Yagori ect. held by one group yet a flag of another flys high? Ignorance is bliss, and your leaders running like headless chickens is nothing new. I suggest Pirateland and their supporters here who've have never heard of Galgala until a few weeks ago sit back and wait for what the residence and "Eastern Sanaag" does inside Pirateland.

Pirateland in Western Bari including Bosaaso seems to be on its last line near flat lining. The SSDF seems to have a ever so growing grudge against Maakhir lets wait and see how their Pirateleader fairs against Maakhir.

And neither was choosen but the hostiles have choosen a battle which they see as necessary since growth of exponential next to them is a threat. SSDF vs USP let the wars begin

As known, our kinfolk will never fall into such foolish tricks Pirateland plays even when their VP select can't liberate their own town for which hostiles have taken from Pirateland. http://laasqoray.net/view_article.php?articleid=8067 It will be an interesting couple months as Maakhir rises.

Re-visiting the article 3 yrs from the date Puntland is regressing as expected. As its disintegration is clear as daylight. Maakhir State seems to be built off the pillars of a fallen fiefdom.

The population of these regions have common clan and the have held discussions in order to establish an administration which will safeguard their safety and distributing wealth and resources between themselves until a federal government comes to active. The birth of Puntland also triggered the idea of regions can survive until Mogadishu and the rest of the country settles, They agreed that Puntland will occupy the northeastern portion of the area compromising the post-colonial Somali republic, which in 1960 joined the former Italian Somaliland and British Somaliland into a single state. Prior the establishment of Puntland, there was Somaliland which declared its independence from Somalia in 1991 and since then never has been recognized by any international body or local government. The rise of Puntland angered Somaliland authority since the Somaliland was based on colonial border between British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland and therefore laid claim over Sanaag Region and Sool. That led to a military clashes in Sool Region in 2003 and still there are opposing forces outside of Las Anod, the biggest city in Sool Region. Sanaag Region, which is the second biggest region in Somalia as whole had peace and tranquility that other regions in Somalia lacked and when Puntland was established the echo of civil war start ringing as some of inhabitant of this region did indeed want it to be part of Somaliland. Sanaag Region consist of five main districts, four out of the five is inhabited by the ********** clan, districts of Laasqoray, Badhan, Dhahar and Erigavo is by larger or over all inhabited by the **********s, who are counted as the fourth biggest ***** clan and have the oldest Sultanate in Horn of Africa. The first destabilizing attempt did accrued when Ade Muse forces was defeated by those of Abdullahi Yusuf, the current President of TFG and fleeing Ade Muse asked refuge from the **********s and when they refused him sanctuary he went to the district of Eil Afweyn which is the Fifth district of Sanaag and the local inhabitant are loyal to the Somaliland Authority. Abdullahi Yusuf chose not to attack the base of Ade at Eil Afweyn and finally the ********** Sultan and King of the Haber Je'lo sub-clan of ***** lead a peace effort which finally has been accepted by both warring factions. Since Ade Muse came to power, Sanaag region has seen rollercoaster time as its stability has been jeopardized by the Puntland Authority when Adde sent some of his ragtag militia to guard a mining village of Majiyahan and that lead to bloody battle between the **********s and mainly Osman Mahamood (********* sub-clan) militia who were claiming to be representing Puntland, who were finally defeated 13 April 2006. Also, the region did not just experience war and clashes but even in peace time, the region has been neglected by the Puntland and the government of Puntland did not bother even paying the serving army from Sanaag and Western Bari, which the **********s viewed as humiliation. Map of North Somalia showing "Maakhir State" That contributed to the idea of creating new regional government named Maakhir State of Somalia, which is independent from Puntland and Somaliland and will put itself under the Federal Government. The main idea is that the Sanaag Region and Western Bari do not benefit from Puntland State and all the aid agencies and allocated funds for these areas do not reach it, therefore we should administer ourselves and govern our affairs. Puntland failed in these regions, mainly due to bad management and lack of respect for those who inhabit in these areas. Another argument was that if this vast area which the international bodies and aid agencies named as disputed territory does administer itself then the argument of that this area is disputed will no longer be there. As whole, Puntland never took off in these regions, mainly due to corruption, nepotism, and only benefited by one clan, this forced the locals of Maakhir State to build their own regional government. The rise of Maakhir idea spread and became clear that this will soon or letter will be the case, the Diaspora supported this idea and sow this as solution for the lack of development of the Sanaag Region and Western Bari. Col Jibrell Ali Salad, a former soldier and governor of Togdher and Lower Juba (Kismayo) regions, took this idea and traveled across Sanaag and Western Bari to sell the idea to the local population. Col Salad visited vast areas of Western part of Sanaag and visited cities such as Erigavo, Damalla Hagare, Armale, Yube and gave speeches to the local population which in return the population and the local elders agreed to the idea of Maakhir State of Somalia. Col Salad, also visited the rest of Sanaag cities such as Hadaftimo, Eil-Bu, Hingalol, Dhahar, Buraan and some small villages in western Bari and did repeated the same speeches and also the local elders and local population welcomed the idea of Maakhir State of Somalia. Finally, the biggest breakthrough came on the 1stf of July this year, 2007, when the soldiers from Puntland and those from Somaliland entered the Badhan City, the capital city for the new state, and gave salute to Mr Salad and accepted him as the commander in chief. This lead to jubilation and flowers been poured on the soldiers and the birth of Maakhir State was for real, the following weeks the new authority started to collect rubbish from main towns and re-arranged the security forces. The rise of Maakhir State of Somalia in Sanaag and western Bari will undoubtedly improve the security and development which these areas need badly. Roads and ports are needed in order to improve the economy of this new state and also, hospitals are badly needed as the entire state has only 2 functioning hospitals, one in Badhan and the second one in Dhahar. There are still ongoing talks between the elders of Maakhir in order to establish legislators and then choose its speaker; also there are more discussions on distribution of ministries and governors. **Raz Shirwa can be reached at: risack2003@hotmail.com B adhan, Sanaag, Maakhir State of Somalia

SSDF as the SNM have employeed various propaganda media land expansion tactics, Erigavo is as intergrated into Maakhir as is Galgala. Was it not the SSDF Piraters who claimed Galgala was in Sanaag? We will wait and see how hostile and who wages the offense since this is a call for war against Maakhir. SSDF Pirate clans are shivering in their boots the entire diaspora, elders, militias of Maakhir are all aligned against this parasite known as Puntland. Its a matter of time when it becomes acceptable to fight and shed another clans blood in the name of their own. And as I expected from the SSDF we've been granted as they're Pirate leader wants us out of our land. Let the war start, as it is xalal for those to defend and wage offense against such. ps: Eventhough Maakhir State has regressed- it seems the declaration of statehood on the base of clan fiefdom will be realized after we deal with this hostile.

Didn't the SSDF leader recently warned Maakhir residents to leave or else? If that isn't disrespect worthy of a offensive war I don't know what Maakhir (Sanaag-Western Bari) is left with. The SSDF is walking on egg shells and have cracked a few.

Thanks for the welcome

I re-posted didnt know you already did.

They're running out of ammo. The entire Puntland institution is a gimmick. Why make enemies and shoot yourself in the foot where majority of your well being is on our plate? They've been on a propaganda spree for the last 4 yrs its reached its peak.

After Ducaale (AUN) who was a great from the same town and seeing members from the other side branding this martyr whose been executed and then claim it was propaganda on all sources. I hope the strong will of the Maakhir people see this as a test and not allow another great such fate. Their is unrest in Bosaaso and there will be unrest till the end. Besides that Xud, and all the Maakhiris waan salaamay.

Overdue pro-gress. Lets continue.

ps: this is a neutral thread for Reer Maakhir. It took forever to get approved and it's rather good seeing some of my famo here. Salaam reer Maakhir

Are you him? Since he's here parading around under the "Sultans" but yet is snorting your orfice in Oodweyne? We don't breed such fraud, he is but a child of your father.

Salaam saar sxbyaal. Seems all the progressive minds comes from one source. Ceelayo
