Where did they go?

Somalia, Politicians from Puntland, specially from Bosasso/Qardho are good in playing politics, and that is what you need in International Relations. If I was a Foreign Minister, I would appoint only Ambassador's from Puntland. Adiga Ruushka ayaan ku magaabi lahaa.

Istafurrulah. Dameerka yaa lahaa? Nothing wrong with riding bike. Its cheap, health and you cant pour in the wrong Diesel/Benzine.

You wouls see all the Puntlanders playing the drums for recongnition in no time coward enclave that failed to defeat buhoodle is threatening to occupy Puntland is by far the funniest @#$% i heard this week. Thank you. i really needed this. If one is determined many things are possible. But this thread is to proof that Somaliland politicians are not ready to play international politics nor deal with Somalia as a Foreign Country. I think even Puntland does a better job in threating Somalia as a Foreign Country, deporting Somali's back to Southern Somalia. nuune;797074 wrote: All of your options are calling for innocent people being killed, do you have anything better, any other option other than calling for invading, fighting, maiming, destruction and occupying.

I am just proving a point.

If Somaliland politicians and leaders were really serious about International recongnition, they could so many things to achieve its place in the international stage. In international Politics nothing is impossible but one needs to want, dare and do something! For example: -They could engage in a war and push all the way to Bosasso and lock up Garowe and Galkacyo. And occupy the Bosasso port as political leverage. You wouls see all the Puntlanders playing the drums for recongnition in no time. -They could bribe the TFG Parliament or TFG Ministers to pass a motion. -They could bribe a number of Kenyan's Ministers. -They could turn an eye on dozends of trucks carrying weapons for ONLF, that should make Ethiopia see the light. -Engage in a war with Djibouti and occupy a land zone from Djibouti as a leverage when negoitiating with the French. -Hire 3 Puntland politician(2 from Bosasso/Qardho and 1 from Galkacyo), 1 spin docter and 1 photographer/cameraman from Puntland. I am sure there are many more options to become an actor on the world stage and gain "international' recongnition, if one is serieuz about its international souvereignity and become a player in the international politics. These are just a number of options.

Abdiwali being carried in the Qabiil basket by Faroole. Even cartoonist Amin sees Abdiwali as a clan stooge, why cant LST see it?

Security forces implies they secure something? Care to explain what or which place they secure? Or are these part-timers who have office jobs in Garowe and in the weekend do military parades. seems like that.

It's a long article. will read it coming weekend.

The man has a point. And its only a sub-sub-sub-sub clan residing in a Galkacyo neigbourhoud, tuulo Qardho and tuulo pretending to be city called Garowe , who are objecting to the Somali solution for own power gains. Yaan been la isku sheegin.

Abu Salman, the GDP(Gross Domestic Product) measures a countries economic output or 'production'. Remittances are not counted in the GDP but they are however counted in the GNP(Gross National Product). So we eat more then we produce or earn. this is economicly unsustainable!

I don't want to touch a sensitive issues but Are we "Somalis" by Culture, Religion, Skin complexion, Language, Body build etc... Personally anyone From Djibouti to Hiiraan Including (Most of Soomali galbeed) Somaliland,puntland iyo Gobolada dhexe ,,,,Is a pure Somali .... And we share the same factors,,,Religion, Language, Skin complexion and culture... A good example would be ; If we bring a nomadic (Not reer magaal ) Somali man from his own degmo in Shiniile (Ethiopia, Near Diridhaba) or Lughaya (Awdal, Somaliland) and Just drop him in Jawiil (Hiiraan, Somalia) or Eyl (Puntland), He will have no problem in communicating with his other fellow nomads....I have seen it practically...Slight changes do not count .... A transitional zone exists in Shabelle Regions ,,,The same Nomad from Shiniile (Ethiopia), Will be confused but not disoriented, He will understand many of the practices and words but he will miss many other aspects.. The problem starts in Bay and Bakool, ,,Althought I respect their View on Somali being Two parts (Maay iyo Maxaa tiri ) but still Someone from Badhan (Sanaag, Somaliland) or Jigjiga (Kilil 5, Ethiopia) will have a hard time living among them...I am not aruging on the language front only, But also on the cultural aspect... In Kismayo and Gedo, I don't have enough interaction with peoples from those areas therefore it would be wrong to judge, but I have seen both groups, A real Somali nomad and a Real Soomaali Qodaal who speaks Maay maay/ or something like it... So what is your point? That there are Somali pastoralist and Somali nomads? Or are you conforming Maay iyo Maxaatiri?

A man hailed and applauded by General Duke, LST and Gheelle reminds me of Abdullahi Yusuf. But then this time one with education. kolay kheyr malaha.

The author seems to be even more angered by the Londen Conference. If he was a true Unionist rather then one of the many crazy clan warriors, he should have welcomed the Conference, Congratulated Somaliland on its change of policy and hailed Siilanyo as a visionary. But I can guess to some clan is indeed everything.

Rudy, spil the beans, was he member of the riviling ghetto gangs.

Since when does he support secession? Come with proof.
