^^It is a manufactured 'problem' ---federal framework has constitutional guidelines and clear criterion ...

Galmudug's proposal of uniting central regions of Somalia or you work with what is already A common sense proposal that is inline with the 'two-or-more' regions threshold

^^Great development...though I think he might have already lost the leverage considering the fact both Ximan & Xeeb and Ahlu Sunnah group have already singed an agreement with Federal Government in Mogadishu to be administered from the center.

Apo, I am not worried at all. I think what has transpired in Puntland is a great news for federalism. The federal government has been busy trying to redefine what federal means for Somalia's various political stake holders but in the end they come to a realization that Somalia cannot afford going back on the road map agreement that resulted in the election of Hassan Sheekh. As a result of that, Abdiqaybdiid has been instructed to look for a regional partner in order to meet the federal criterion.

I feel sorry for those still represented by a criminal like Qaybdiid. But its their call. Caalin was a leader, but he was muscled and removed by Qaybdid

Jen. Cabdi Qaybdiid oo shaaciyay inuu fashilmay kulan dhexmaray Maamulka Galmudug iyo Dowladda Soomaaliya Arbaco, Maarso 13, 2013 (HOL) — Madaxweynaha maamulka Galmudug, Jen.

Ra’iisul wasaaraha Soomaaliya, Cabdi Faarax Shirdoon (Saacid) ayaa la sheegay in markii uu tagay Gaalkacyo uu ka dalbaday maamulka Galmudug inay ku biiraan maamul kale si ay u buuxiyaan shuruudaha looga baahan yahay maamul-goboleedyada dalka, taasoo ay Galmudug ku gacan-sayrtay. “Si wanaagsan ayaan u soo dhaweynay mas’uuliyiintii ka socday dowaldda Soomaaliya, balse kulan aan la yeennay ayaa dhammaaday iyadoo aanay waxba kasoo bixin, kaddib markii ay waxyaabo yaryar soo dhexgaleen,” ayuu yiri Jen. Qaybdiid oo u warramayay VOA-da. Mar uu ka jawaabayay su’aal ahayd sida ay u arkaan hadlka ra’iisul wasaaraha ayaa wuxuu sheegay in deegaannaa uu maamulkooda ka taliyo uu ka kooban yahay laba gobol oo kala ah Mudug iyo Galmudug, sidaa darteedna ay isku arkaan inay buuxiyeen shuruudihii looga baahnaa. “Innagu diyaar ayaan u nahay in laga wadahadlo arrintan, waxaana sidoo kale diyaar u nahay inaan maamul la wadaago ciddii diyaar u ah sida Ximan iyo Xeeb iyo Ahlusunna Waljmaaca,” ayuu yiri Jen.

Good move It was expected though -

Of course Puntland is not a country , what it is IS a federal state that would insist upon all rights afforded under the constitution. A unified, cohesive federal army is what we called for, and it is indeed a pre request for a complete lift of current arms embargo

malistar , that is what you wish but not going to happen. Don't contradict the prime minister xaaji xunjuf, orod oo Oodweyne iigu yeer aan wax is dhahnee

^^Oodweyne would understand what I am talking about. You are such a novice

Mr. xunjuf, awoowe, you should have the honest to tell the gallery that you got no political skills and today you are at the mercy of Hassan and Saacid to unchain you from the self imposed political lockdown that is in effect in Hargeysa. Puntland on the other hand waa fariid, and you can see it before your eyes. It is a win win situation for Faroole , Saacid, and Hassan . What do you say

^^xiinfaniins predictions has been proved correct and right. Remember when you were in the business of telling us & the gallery that SL 'way duushay' , xiinfaniin told you no such thing. He even went far and told you that the whole project will come down to a political bargaining, which could risk the relative stability in the North as politics of secession implodes. And what do we have today ? Exactly that ---meaning the top leadership are negotiating some type of union.

mr xunjuf it is funny that you are trying to negotiate with yourself in an online fora ---wait and see how the whole thing pans out for you have no way of influencing what will transpire ...

^xaaji xunjuf of Hargeysa will hate this picture ---the discord his wicked mischievous side so desperately wished to see happen is utterly rebuffed by the apparent gesture in the pic

And it goes without saying the prime minister will hugely benefit from these recent trips. But his political gains will depend on how vigorously he pursues and implements the agreements his administration signed with the various political stakeholders this particular trip of his covered.

Yup! Federalism is the foundation of Somalia's current political settlement. The prime minister is correct in putting it they way he put it. Call clan federalism, call it what ever you like, but the reality remains that federalism is the framework upon which Saacid and Hassan legitimacy rests. The test before the government is how they dig themselves out from the hole they unwittingly slipped in with respect to Jubbaland State. Saacid has contradicted himself before in two subsequent interviews. I hope this time he sticks to the pronouncement he made at the airport.

waryaa Fiqi ma inteenniibaa mise waa run ?

mooge, xaajigu waa khafiifay ayyaamahan, flag pin baa lasoo shirtagay . Waa ku taagantahay our separatist brothers siyaasadda soomaliya bay ku wareereen, waxaa iigu darnayd markuu Mintid yiri UN resolution baa Kismayo laga soo saaray

^^Yes it is a progress ...I hope Abwaans will not pressure the president to oppose it. The reason the upper house was opposed was the same exact reason the Jubbaland state is opposed, namely that it gives a percieved political advantage to the enemy clan But this agreement ensure that what is agreed will be implemented to move the country forward.

That is a progress report from xunjuf the separatist

And Oodweyne gives low marks to Siilaanyo's team ? Somaliland will tank Siilaanyo for delivering them what the people so desperately need; a way out of their political stalemate. He will return to the union with dignity , and secure them an special place in Somali politics.

^^There are drone pictures provided by friendly country as well showing the route of the national army, and places they've stopped :D Waryaa WW, nimanka ka aayar bahasha

This restores the political ownership balance. President Hassan Sheekh created a perception of unilateral policy making with respect to how post conflict Somalia would look like ...

Genel exploration deal to conintue and drilling to happen in 2014 Turkish Airlines to start flights to Somaliland Other investment projects were also discussed in Somaliland A Turkish delegation will visit Somaliland in the next coming weeks All are good stuff

Good move by Siilaanyo
