Lovely, do not I love it how Ilma-Bucur-Bacayr lads/lasses always like to deal in whimsy fantasy whilst painting castles in the sky; front a brave face when the tough gets going, and how they love to speak as if residing in 10 Downing Street, yet with no means to afford clean drinking water for their malnourished, ill-healthy masses, let alone clothe their bare backs; Dear o dear,

And according to the speaker, Mr Burale Yusuf, JNM is the military wing of SSC whereas NSUM is the political wing. Now, will the marauding, ill-equipped, badly dressed Iljeex and their cohorts listen and go home? hear hear ...

Zack - The parliament is elected by its people – that is the people of Punt. “Who elects the parliament?” The last time it was elected was in January 2009, just before the presidential elections. “when was the last time parliamentarian election has been held?” See, I am just entertaining you here, ladi, for there is no need to even debate the matter, unless of course you have been drinking coolay over the years, which I am certain you probably have been judging from your incessant non-questions. Any more Qs where those came from, ladi? Cowke – Did you misunderstand my note, or did I come across as being a wolf disguised as a sheep? Whis one is it, old boy for I am so amused by your comments? “Miles try again but haters can be spotted from a mile away, your hatred is so astounding you even need to create a lie.” Tata …

And who told you Puntland does not have a parliament? Puntland does have a parliament with 2 sessions thru the year --- here is more info about the parliament and its business. http://puntlandparliament.org/indexsom.aspx Tata ...

Hang on a minute, let me get this straight – these planes were nabbed whilst involved in 2 criminal acts: a) illegally trespassed another country’s air space, b) violated terra lex legis not to deal with pirates, for crime does pay not, yet you dimwits find it a joking matter? And to make matters worse, have the folly to mock the ones trying to right the wrongs? It is understandable JB has to find a bone to pick elsewhere or a tree upon to bee, for reality in Shankaroon is awfully scandalous to swallow, but what about the obtuse, mma? Or is his 'dameeri dhaan raacday'? In case, you did not have someone to brief you as to the difference ‘ween right and wrong, or it has not dawned on you yet, Puntland is in the right in this case to do what it has done. O’ well ... what is the point,

Brilliant ideas; try combining these 2, and you are on to something. And by the way, I do not think there is a need to have 8 stars on the flag --- a single one might suffice.

Good, and now that we have established that, let us leave the clan chatter there, shall we? And assume for the benefit of discourse that I am not in denial either, all right. "I'm not in denial about my clan" Let us get back to the subject matter, shall we?

And who does not belong to a clan? you perhaps? We know what Puntland is, and is not, and do not need you to tell us that, do we now? Tell us that which we do not know, will you?

It depends on with whom you speak, does it not? And in this instance, you could hardly be the judge of that, for you are standing on one side of the spectrum: that of the pro-secessionist, hence could not possibly say what is good for reer Sool. Besides, one must speak for oneself, and not pretentiously claim to know what is good for others; in other words, you are not from Sool, and could not possibly speak on their behalf.

They could be pro Puntland, yet be anti- current administration, no? And will you quit with the 'clan this' 'clan that' mantra - it gets old 'ter a while,

Who does not take hand-outs? I thought that was Somalis middle name? "Are you saying rer Sool take hand-outs from Riyaale?"

Those are fake names tho', old boy, When did you know Somalis from those regions with no nicknames?

Was not this thing denounced a while ago as being a fabrication? Or is this a case of the young Turks in SOL not knowing much about anything? http://www.puntlandp ost.com/newspage.php ?articleid=8398 WAR SAXAAFADEED:Golaha Qurbajoogta Puntland Shaqo Kuma Laha Maqaalka Cayda ah ee ku Soo Baxay Jidbaale.com. Posted to the Web Aug 26, 22:54 WAR SAXAAFADEED: PDF/MRD/08/26/09/01 Golaha Qurbajoogta Puntland 'Puntland Diaspora Forum' wuxuu si kulul u cambaareynayaa maqaalka been abuurka ah ee ay daabacday mareegta Jidbaale.com, taariikhdu markey ahayd Agoosto 23, 2009, iyadoo la istacmaalayo magaca Golaha Qurbajoogta Puntland si bareer, been abuur ahna loogu aflagaadeynayo madaxda iyo ummadda dawlada Puntland. Waxaan ku wargalinaynaa dadka reer Puntland in qoraalkaasi uu yahay mid been abuur ah oo aan marnaba kasoo bixin Guddoonka iyo xubnaha Golaha Qurbajoogta Puntland. Farriinta iyo afkaarka gurracan ee uu qoraalka sare ku xusani xambaarsan yahay ma aha kuwo ka tarjumaya siyaasada guud ee Golaha Qurbajoogta Puntland. Sidaa darteed, Golaha Qurbajoogta Puntland iyo xubnihiisuba iyaga oo aaminsan cadaaladda (fairness) kuna adeegaya fekerka istusaaleynta toosan (constructive dialogue) ayey si adag u cambaareynayaan ku-tiri-ku-teenta maqaalkaas ku qoran. Guddoonka Goluhu waxaa kale oo uu xubnahiisa iyo dhammaan bulshada reer Puntland u caddaynayaa in magacyada ku saxiixan qoraalka ku soo baxay Jidbaale.com aanay xubin ka ahayn, wakiilna uga ahayn dalalkaasi Golaha Qurbajoogta Puntland. Golaha Qurbajoogta Puntland waxa uu qadarin u hayaa madaxda dawladda Puntland, siyaasada ay ku hogaaminayaan Puntland, iyo isbedalka horumarineed ee ay hormuudka ka yihiin. Ma aha wax ku cusub bini’aadmiga in wax-ma-garad magacyo aan jirin wata, kuna gabanaya magacyo iyo ururo aan sal laheyn ay baahiyaan qoraalo lagu jaahwareerinyo ummadda iyadoo la adeegsanaayo rugaha xorta ah ee internetka. Waxaan uga digaynaa rugaha interneetka sida Jidbaale.com in ay iska hubiyaan daabacaadda qoraaladda been abuurka ah iyo cawaaqib xumida ka iman karta, taasi oo wax u dhimaysa sumcadda iyo aaminaadda ay ku qabi karaan dadka soo booqanaya rugahooda internetka.

This is highly disturbing and has gone beyond the scope of the political sphere, therefore demands careful handling; unfortunately neither side seems equipped nor willing to savour the day, Cool heads --- more on the story ---

And one more,

And this is Bosaso port in the 80s.

Oo JB iminka taasi ma masayr bay ka tahay oo dafiraad buu ka ixgaa? Waar tani waa Boosaaso, oo weliba ka sii qurub badan intaa.

As if you were from the lush, green field of Iceland, yaa kaba shaagle?. What will you do when it happens? Strangle yourself, no?

And President Sharif & PM Sharma'arke congratulate Puntland for the 11th anniversary wishing them all the best in their future endeavours ....

And the day came ... And more pictures here ...

Why not just simply celebrate each other's successes in joyous moments and commiserate in moments of melancholy in unison. Believe it or not, neither Somaliland nor Puntland is perfect with plenty to mock about and around.

Waar kaagan dhibta cabay maxaad la doconaysaa? Mise rooxaan Puntland la yiraa ayaa kaa dhex qaloonbiyaysa?
