  1. Mr. orgilaqe, Windtalker, Sky. Let me tell you something, please dont comment on tribes. I just recently returned from Puntland. Everything is tribal there, whenever someone was murdered they wanted to know who’s tribe died, and what tribe killed him. The Police commander that committed the murders, do you have a name? Cause I remember everyone saying they don’t know who did it. How can you blame him for those murders, it's like having a Isse Mohamud or Omar in power and committing murders in Puntland and claiming it was Presidents fault. They are all Politically motivated to undermine the Government. When I was there I witnessed many curfews that were put in place and arrests. South Africa is probably one of the most dangerous places in the world, should they fire their president while in office? Tribe is everything in Puntland, you know damn well you are of another tribe other then his. You are upset he is in power and want to see him out. That's how Somali work, that is why we are where we are today. Those are the facts; you know what you are and what he is. That is why Somaliland picked a Gudurbursi as vice president to Egal, and now he is president. Finally, more death, war and lack of development took place with Abdulahi in power.
  2. Oh really windtalker, your statements sound really interesting. You don’t tell the whole entire story, just parts of it. The elders voted Abdulahi Yusuf out of Power, something he refused and subsequently ended up taking Puntland by force and running Jama Ali Jama out of town. Qardo was Pres Cade Muse tribal land and was under control of Abdulahi Yusuf's militia. These are the facts okay! Pres. Cade went there to defend his people. Regardless of how you look at it. He did something that was recognized by the UN and other Organizations, including several Governments around the world. He made Peace with Abdulahi Yusuf, took his forces and made them join Puntland Army. Are you serious? Look where Puntland is now, is there any tension on the Somaliland Border? Is there any Civil war going on? Because there was one way before Cade came, when Abdulahi took Puntland by force. Is there an airport being built? ASK ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN THERE, AND THEY WILL SAY YOU CAN SEE IT BEING BUILT. Pres. Cade has tough decisions to make. He must start getting money into Puntlands economy. Something no one has done in the past. You can complain all you want, but we will see what he leaves for Puntland when his time is done. And by the way, the term is 5 years!
  3. Uchi please. I mean stop these ridiculous statements with no proof.First off Pres Cade is not going to India and never planned to. Second, believe me Terry did not come to Faroole first. And no one is challenging Faroole's education. Terry did bring boats, which I have seen; for the effected in Hafun, computers for schools and wheelchairs. Interesting though ll over Garowe I saw graffiti that said "No Faroole" his support there isn't strong. No one is perfect and we are all human. Why dont you give your president the benefit of the doubt, and wait and see what happens. Do you realize how desperately we need investment, and that NO ONE HAS DONE IT SINCE PRES. CADE CAME? Can you see what he has started? Do you see he came in and got the ball rolling, I honestly think many people from all over the world will start paying attention if anything is found in Puntland. Basically all I am saying is this; "Puntland is coming a long way with Cade in such a short time, there is hope growing and just wait and see what the end result will be".
  4. Sky, what are you talking about? You see, in any other society you can easily sue a journalist that spreads lies or hold them accountable. Even if a journalist in any other developed society came out with something that was a threat to national security; they'd be punished. If a journalist in Puntland is spreading lies or causing tribal tension, it may seem like nothing in our societies, but back there it can have huge repercussions. Of course Faroole is against the deal, because he has his own companies he wants to bring in from his adopted Australia. And guess what, he has no say in this! The majority of the Gov't is with the President. So you can side with whomever you want. It's hilarious; you'd never see so much divide, among government members that work under the President in any other Country. Only in Somalia, that is why we are where we are today! Everyone wants to complain, complain and complain.
  5. Mr. Orgilaqe are you serious? You are saying that Puntland was safer with Abdulahi Yusuf in power, or as you put it good on crime? Need I remind you when Abdulahi was in power; there were several battles that took place between Somaliland, which resulted in deaths. His rivals were murdered (need we start naming people that were killed during his term, regardless of who ordered them?). And probably the biggest thing was the civil war that took place and many subsequent battles when he took Puntland by force, again resulting in many deaths. Yet you would rather return to that? We are not even talking about those that were killed between personal disputes, which was greater then it is now. Back then there was constant war, assassinations and kidnappings taking place. Maybe you are upset that another tribe is now in power other then your own and many of your people are trying to undermine the new government with killings (just look where they are taking place!), but please. Don't start fabricating stories! There was far more killing before Pres. Cade came in power; this is Puntlands SAFEST ERA.
  6. Isn't this so interesting? As usual Somalis are complaining about their leader. No wonder we are the only country without a central government that is taken seriously. No matter who is in power there are those that will always find faults in them. I am sick of hearing those of you that are living in N. America and Europe constant complaining about this and that. While you live in your modern societies and the people back home(that I have spent a lot of time with) are suffering. Pres. Cade Muse is building a multi-million dollar airport, he is paying primary school teachers their wages, even things such as direct flights from Puntland to Dubai are now available, and were not before. (For those of you that took the flights that went to Djibouti first then Dubai, which took 7+hours! will appreciate the direct flights that are now 3 hours.) And look at the lack of violence on the Puntland/Somaliland border with him as President, where young men on both sides aren’t dying. And this is the thanks he is getting??? All this, in less then a year. Can you imagine after his term is over what difference there will be? The majority of people in Puntland, are happy about the oil contract, they have never ever seen someone actually putting actions to words and finding people that are willing to shell out millions of dollars to help them. They are sick of waiting for someone to start doing something with their land. There has been no money stolen; yet people are assuming all ready that he has committed a crime. I will end with this, anyone interested in educating the youth, building and airport and resolving fighting through dialogue has earned my respect. Complain all you want, call all the names you can think of. Just remember, while you are living in your developed adopted countries. Someone has left Canada to rebuild his. May Allah Bless Pres. Cade Muse.
