Adam, have you been in hybenation Mudug has been divided in the last 25 years and if it is to be united it is up to the people in North and South of it to come to the negotiating table to decide where to join together Galgadud or remain In puntland. One part has no given right to unileterally take the region to where they want. That's down right provocative. Juba on the hand has never been divided into different states or ministates ( in the case of Galmudug). The tribes in Juba overlap in all the three regions. So if you want fair game play right.But if you have undue bias against Puntlanders due to political goal scoring go ahead and entertsin us.

Any Somali King/sultan/garad can represent on behalf of Somalis.

Reer Gedo kulaha war go and listen to former defence minister. He said 98 percent of the so called SNA is from local warlords and clans. Thats why embargo is not lifted and financial is not coming through.

^LoL@nafaqada reerka. Sxb There is no one inclusive goverment in Muqdishu. The whole Somali army is from one clan and even most senior officers are from one clan. How is that inclusive? And shamelessly you want the armies embargo to be lifted and financial aid to be provided to onesided so called goverment. Add these to the civil service, their ranks include former mooryaans and checkpoint crooks and yeah that's inclusive goverment. Believe me sxb you can not trick any one, we can read through what Hassan is cooking. In the end, we will have goverment for all or there will be many goverments running the show. Puntland is not taking the country hostage every one who follows somali affairs know who destroyed the country and has been taking this country hostage in the last 24 years. You can not rewrite the history. You know if it was not Puntland Hassan would not be calling himself president today. Puntland had invested heavily in forming inclusive goverment where national concensus is the norm. But Hassan is ruining the efforts of well meaning people to dictate for things he knows nothing about.

Malistar you speaking like the goverment is owned by your family. The Goverment was formed to serve all but if tried to dictate things you know the people you dealing with. Hassan is president by name, he will lose that too. So its better for you to come down from your high horse. Sxb cid cid u dawladaynkarta ma jirto. Dawlada ama waanu wada lahaan ama way ina wada dayn. The choice is yours.

Gooni waa ra, yi fiican laakiin markaas xataa puntland 2.5 bay leedahay reer Galgaduudna ma jecla reer ka MJ inay hoostagaan oo shaki baas oo in jookarka loo ragayo bay aminsanyihiin marka see loo heshiin?

Gooni problemka Puntland ma keenin ee danteeda uun bay garatay. Waqooyi Galkio haduu cid ku darsamyo horta soow in la waydiiyo ma aha? Sooe ma maamulka uu ka tirsanyahay in la waydiiyo ma aha? Qabyaalada iyo cid riixa intaad iska daysid xaq u hadal. Tan kale yaa mudan in lugu biiro? Ma meel wax ka jiraan mise meel cidla ah?

If others can't establish federalism becouse of lack of unity PL will go it alone, let Bay & Bakool controlled from Hamar. No one is forcing you anything, its just so wrong a region cobtrolled by Puntland for 16 years and is doig well to just join unruly and underdeveloped bitterly divided region a.k.a Galgaduud just becouse Galgadud, Hiiraan and Lower Shabelle can not and will not agree to form a federal state due to tribal conflict, same reason they could not agree to form national goverment when they overthrew the then goverment of Siad Barre. So its simple if you can't form a state, you will come under the national goverment and others will selfrule. You can not destablise others who are even older than The TFG itself becouse of lack of unity within yourself.

This was idealogical differences between two men and nothing to do with where some one is from or their tribe.

In 1998 when Puntland was being created south Mudug clan was invited to become part of the state but they vehemently rejected on tribal reasons. Then Puntland just incorporated North Mudug which consisted Galkio, Jariban and Goldogob. The constituition of Puntland clearly stated that Just Northern Mudug was part of the state and not the Southern Mudug. Now Abdiqeybdiid wants to use the name of North Mudug, an area where he does not control and nopthing to do with his state to fullfill two region condition for forming a state. They should have clearly label it as Southern Mudug to avoid confusion and contreversy.

Where does it say he has been hired or that matter he was a goverment employee? Sxb the article says he was just regular visitor of madaxtooyada and used to hang out there and in the hotels where goverment officials stay. This is worst encompetency of any sort of governent and big embarrasment to the president. The fact this man was unchecked probably becouse of his close clan connection with Madaxtooyada tells you the level of incompentency of this goverment especially the president who its his home turf is unimaginable.

If she is scared for her life why is she publicing herself infront of Newspapers? Hypocrite trying to milk western islamophobia iga dheh. I am sure no Somali except her few relatives knew about her case before she went public. I am from the UK I never heard about here before these 'I am Somali infidal come and interview me and make me famous'. Her mother got on with her life why doesn't she get on with her Gaalnimo in peace?

The international media has picked up this news. It good publicity for Somalis to organise an event like this: http://almahrahtoday.net/news.php?action=show&id=6571 استقبلت الجالية المهرية في الصومال السلطان عبدالله بن عيسى بن عفرير باكثر من سبعين سياره وكان على راسهم مشايخ قبائل المهرة ( بن نيمر + الجدحي + بن عتوني + السليمي + وبن عفرير ) وجمع غفير من شيوخ واعيان الجالية المهرية في الصومال . وقد اتى سلطان عبدالله بن عيسى بن عفرير لمشاركة تنصيب ملك قبائل الدارود ، حيث وجه الملك ورئيس اقليم بت لاند جامع كاس دعوة شرفية لسلطان لتقوية العلاقة بين الارضين . والجديد بالذكر ان الجالية المهرية بالصومال تحتل حيزا من الاهمية كونها مصاهير وابناء عمومه لفخد المجيرتين وهو فخد الحاكم لقبائل الدارود ، وقد ابداء السلطان عبدالله بن عيسى بن عفرير اعجابه باستقبال المهيب من قبل ابناء المهرة هناك . ومن المنتظر ان يلتقي بن عفرير شيوخ ومشايخ واعيان الجالية على انفراد بعد انتهاء حفل تنصيب ، ليتطلع على اوضاع الجالية في الصومال ، ولكي يؤكد لهم انهم في حيز التفكير وان سلطانهم ليس ناسيهم ، ويعتبر هذه الزيارة الاولى من نوعها لسلطان للقرن الافريقي لتطبيع علاقات المهرة خارجيا والتقى السلطان مع جاليات المهرة في افريقيا .

Lol Yaa sugaya ma kuwa cararay reer reer waqooyi iyo faataalayn

wadh it was distraction from Sillaanyo. His enclave is divided than ever before. Clans are uprising and undermining his authority and opposition parts have cut all links with his government. Clan skirmishes are ravaging in Berbera area and people got killed just last week. Poverty is increasing in the enclave where there are no natural resources and business is dominated by few fat cats and the rest are left as beggars. The young people in the clan enclave are leaving for Tahriib in their droves. recognition is distant as sky is to the earth and no country has even indicated that they wanted to listen their cries let alone recognize them. so what does he do? Use the old and tried trick: Distract the masses and start a war he can not maintain and visit places in the dark of the night to invoke unity among his warring tribesmen. That is all is happening. If he really man enough he would have stayed over a night in Badhan and would have maiantained his militias in Taleex for few more hours but he is old enough to know what is to follow.

How can he join SNM when last night on TV he was calling you Dowlad Gobeleedka Hargaysa and was critical of you. It seems you desperately want him to join you. I don't think Ali will ever join SNM, he is too hard headed and proud to do that. But time will tell.

Puntland have answered this Silaanyo provocation and sent troops there this morning. Latest is that SNM & theeir bribed miltias have vacated Taleex as Puntland troops approached.

LOL@how desperately SNM separatists are looking for any Puntland bad news. This is just one off incident which has no any bearings on general security. Galkio is one of the safest cities in Somalia so guys stop exegarating.

Somaliland incorporates in its budget on direct aid provided by aid agencies such as education and health and takes into account a regime of taxation they can not enforce and unrealistic to achieve. Its also a political strategy by Siilanyo to look a real country to show they can support themselve if given recognition. So basically as everything else it is based on phantom.

LOL@ lecture from Somali-diid separatist. So you have in the best interest of Puntland and Abdiwali doesn't LOL The reason why you hate Abdiwali is clear. And you are not alone Somaliland these days cabaadkii baa ka dhamaaday.

Haaji xandhuuf, Dr Gaas is the best candidate and my favourite. The fact is not yours speaks volume. The fact that we tolerated Faroole does not mean we love him. We have tradition to let presidents to see through their tenure. Puntland needs someone who can modernise Puntland instituitions, expediate infradture developments, and curb corruption and nepotism. Dr Abdiwali Gaas fit that descroption.

LOL reer Somaliland desperately praying for Faroole comeback. War Faroole waa history. Get tbat message to Eedo to back her bags. Tillamook, how you get the numbers pleaze do tell us. No sane MP will vote for Faroole. Some will take his bribes and then will vote otherwis. The votes are thriugh secret ballot, no one will know who voted who.

Its wishful thinking to say Khatumo MPS will be reinststed. They either nominated by their Isimms or there will be no Khatumo representatives in Puntland parliment, simple as like that.

Gaas to win this or someone else probably Haji Shire. Faroole will be history. He will try to cheat as he is doing now with the Conflict Resolution Comittee but will not succeed. my least favourite: Faroole - aonother five years of him will encourage corruption and nepotism with no real progress in infrastructure development. Ali Haji - no experience for any real adminstration rather than being an accountant for Golis.

Hassan will most likely praying for fumbling Faroole as he thinks he can outplay him as he is doing now. Gaas win for Puntland will rise the Puntland profile and will have quite shrewd man to deal wiyh, something Hassa will not favour.
