I agree it is way too early to judge the new admin. I do however think that President Faroole may have underestimated this job and the difficulty it takes to keep the peace in Puntland or any African region. With so many weapons and poverty, the ability to keep people from fighting each other is a constant battle. Through out the former admins 4 years, President Faroole constantly attacked it through garoweonline and later on the BBC. His anger at Range Resources was particularly harsh. Faroole's taking over the parliament after he was sacked was obviously bad, but the biggest mistake was when he said that there was no Puntland Government anymore and that people should fight against the oil deal. To say there was no admin or Puntland State really crossed the line. If you look at people like Nuradiin Aadan Diriye or Minister Cabdulahi Axmed Jamac "Ilkajiir", they still received more votes then the Cade Muse and beat him, but they always kept it professional and showed respect. Now obviously if you want to be president you can point out the wrong doings of the admin you are competing against and how you can improve things during campaigning, but you can't cross that line and completely say that there is no admin, or say to the population that they should fight the oil deal and that the state is about the collapse. The fact remains, he was 100% against Range Resources and now he meets with them at the same table. I think this is proof that his only objection to them was that he wasn't behind the wheel. I believe that to get respect, you’ve got to give respect. I think he showed very little respect during the last admins term. It is now happening to him in Gaalkayo where they are showing very little as well. The murder of the minister is the biggest example, because never has a minister been targeted in such a horrible manner.

Very sad news! If there was suspicion about these men they should have been questioned by police, if they are guilty of anything, arrest them or deport them. But for this to happen, show's that the law and order is quickly deteriorating in Gaalkayo. Who knows who is responsible, but if people can walk around gunning down people and escaping? speechless. Things are very serious. Even the kidnappings and piracy never involved violence.

MOGADISHU (Reuters) – Six foreigners, said to be from Pakistan, were killed by unidentified gunmen on Wednesday in Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region, witnesses said. Two other people were wounded in the attack at a mosque in Galkayo, residents said, adding that the foreigners came from Pakistan on Tuesday and were dressed as Islamist preachers. "Masked gunmen opened fire in the mosque, killing six foreigners and injured two others," resident Sheikh Abdiqadir Ali told Reuters. A local elder told Reuters that security forces were at the scene of the attack. "Puntland forces have reached the mosque to carry away the dead bodies," the elder Mohamed Hussein told Reuters by phone from Galkayo. "These foreigners, mostly Pakistanis, were 25 in number and arrived from Pakistan yesterday." Residents said the killings may have been motivated by suspicions that the foreigners had links to al Qaeda. Lawless Somalia is viewed by the international community as a potential breeding ground for al Qaeda-linked groups and as a threat to regional stability. Puntland's information minister was killed in the same area last week. (Reporting by Abdi Guled; Editing by Louise Ireland) yahoo

Galkacyu: President Faroole names a new governor hope for change
Thankful replied to General Duke's topic in Politics
Somalia: Galkaio the toughest security challenge for the Puntland administration? Somalia: Galkaio the toughest security challenge for the Puntland administration? | read this item By: Mohamed Osman Horseed Media Editorial On 5th of August 2009, Warsame Abdi Shirwa, the information minister of Puntland State (Northeastern Somalia), was gunned down in central Galkaio, by four gunmen in broad daylight, none of the assailants were captured, is this a wake up call for the Puntland administration ? or it is just too little too late to save Mudug region from self-destruction ? What did shock me however was the pathetic reactions of the security services in Galkaio, while the minister lies dead in a pool of blood in front of a café Federal, down town Galkaio, the police and other security forces were busy dispersing the curious onlookers, rather than tracking down the killers, who were known and identified by many eyewitnesses on the scene. It is utterly shocking, to see the first Puntland Minister killed in such a barbaric manner in his home town, but more shockingly, many people in Mudug, in particular Galkaio city, were not even surprised! Over the past few months, Galkaio have seen increasing violence and pre-planned assassinations on prominent figures, the Puntland governments similar to the previous administration, seems unable to find any lasting solution for this upsurge of killings in the second largest city of Puntland State. The death of the minister appears to be just another statistic of the long list of unsolved assassinations in Galkaio city. Short History! Just to recap some of the assassinations on prominent people in Galkaio, since the new Puntland administration of Dr.Abdirahman Farole came to power, in January 2009. - In February, Abdi Ka’an a well known traditional leader was killed in Galkaio. - Again in March, Sheikh Ali Afyare a prominent cleric in the city, was on his way home from the mosque, when armed gunmen shot him dead. - On 30th of April, Col.Yassin Ahmed Abdulle, the head of Puntland intelligence service (PIS) in Mudug region, was killed in a car bomb attack. - Just few days later, on 3rd of May, Hirsi Nur Ali, a well known businessman was killed by men dressed in military uniform, in the southern part of Galkaio. - On 19th of July, two armed gangs exchanged fire in Galkaio, killing 2 and wounding others. - Five days later on 25th of July, two police officers guarding the governor of Mudug, were killed by armed militia at an illegal checkpoint, North of Galkaio. - On 5th of August 2009, Warsame Abdi Shirwa, the information minister of Puntland was killed, when four armed men wearing the military uniform opened fire on his car. This was an apparent retaliation for the death of the two police officers killed on 25th of July, at Agaran checkpoint, North of Galkaio. What is next? For many people it will seem strange, that a minister is murdered over the death of police officers. But you will understand, once you are able grasp the basics of complex clan rivalry in Mudug region. Many analysts in Puntland, agree that the assassination of the information minister, was to avenge the killing of the two bodyguards of Abdinur Gesey, the governor of Mudug, who were killed by armed militia from the minister’s tribe, on 25th of July. The men who carried out the assassination of Warsame Abdi Shirwa, the information Minister of Puntland, were identified by eyewitnesses, as the relatives of governor Abdinur Gessey. The governor denies any involvement in Minister Shirwa’s killing. Sadly but truly, no one is so far apprehended for these assassinations, which originates from; long standing clan feuds, organized crime, terrorism and a dysfunctional security force in the region, which are poorly trained, under equipped and divided by clan. The death of Warsame Abdi Shirwa, sums up all of the failings of the government in the region, which have led to the increasing violence, caused by; clan divisions, weak security forces, unqualified leaders and clueless administration. How ironic, Warsame Abdi Shirwa, was part of a team of Ministers and MPs, who were trying to address the insecurity in the city, yet he himself became the latest victim of the violence. Now, the President and over half of his cabinet are in Galkaio, trying to finish what Warsame and his colleagues could not achieve in the region. The way out! Still there is hope, that is if the President takes the right decisions to quell the old hostilities between the tribes in the region and appoints capable leaders, who can galvanize the support of the community. Even with strong leaders in Mudug, without well trained and well equipped police force, who can serve and protect the people, it will be difficult to secure Galkaio, which is the largest city, that borders between Puntland State and chaotic southern regions of Somalia.

Galkacyu: President Faroole names a new governor hope for change
Thankful replied to General Duke's topic in Politics
I doubt an arrest will be made. They are most likely offering the family of the slain minister a significant amount of blood money. This was not some random attack from a bunch of thugs; they were merely following orders that were given to them by people higher up. If they were going to turn over the killers, it would have been done much sooner. I hope peace prevails. -

Galkacyu: Puntland declares emergency law on city
Thankful replied to General Duke's topic in Politics
Can you explain to me how those cities form a triangle? They almost go down in a straight line, from north to south. People hear the U.S use the term "Sunni Triangle" in iraq (which is an actual triangle)and are copying it when it doesnt apply in Bosasso, Qardho and Garowe. -
