Lord have mercy! You are aware that is American singer Ciara right? I don't know why I have her as my avatar. SOL gave it to me, I guess.

Faroole actually said that if Somaliland is willing to hold talks with Somalia or the Transitional Federal Government, they have to go through Puntland? The old man has more guts than I thought.

Why is it that Faroole hasn't visited Puntland's second largest city, Galkacyo, since 2009? Why is his administration is ignoring this region? He has time to visit small shabby village but he can't find time to go to Galkacyo? or is there something else in play here? perhaps oil?

I speak with Southern dialect so these would be words I would use marka I couldn't translate them in Reer Mudug or Waqooyi even if I tried but I will try to do them in English. Baashaal....Fun 2) Bajaq.....It has too meaning. It could mean "mushy" or it is an insult equivalent to the "B" word 3) Baliil........Marbles 4) Buufis......stress? 5) Bilaash......Nothing (will amount to nothing) 6) Bilcaan......Women 10) Bilaayo........nuisance

I say Riyaale Kahin. Sillanyo will be the demise of Somaliland just you wait and see.

Garowe (small but supposedly well organized and planned). Hargeisa Bosaso Mogadishu Marka/Barawe Kismaayo

Such a harsh environment. I would die of heat exhaustion if I lived in this place. Other than that, Good job.

Take this JB JB was told by the whole world that noone in Somalia can challenge Puntland and their capabilities are similar to that of international troopers such as amisom who doesnt have air or naval capabilities which Puntland does I am shocked how advanced and well trained the Puntland Maritime Police Force are. I didn't expect it.

Interesting. I recently saw pictures of Gara'ad and I think it is breath taking. I am thinking of living there in the future. How friendly is the inhabitants there? are they hostile to non-Puntlanders? I would have thought Galkacyo would make the cut. It is the largest city in central Somalia and it will very much benefit from the oil in Puntland region. I think the city should have been added to the list.

I was just trying to point out their dominance over other Somalis although they only make small percentage of the total Somali population. Elpunto: I was just talking about the Puntlanders in my community and I wasn't generalizing all of them.

Good for them.

I live in one of the few states in USA dominated by Somali Bantus. Somalis (non-Bantus) make about 10% of the total Somali population and they are mostly Puntlanders. These Putlander tend to be unionists and I hardly see them speaking about Puntland but once in a while they hold meetings and fundraising for Puntland. They are business savvy and out of the 8 Somalis owned stores and businesses they own about 6 of them. They also run all the Money transferring business. Two of the three Somali professors at my university are Puntlanders and most of the community leaders happen to be them. I think there is some truth to what Somalis say about Puntlanders based on what I have observed about them in my community. Their hegemony over other Somalis and their need to always be in power is very disturbing ;)

Just like how you and the Somaliland administration should accept the self-determination Khatuumo. ;) On serious note, this is not going to work. West Puntland State? that is original. Where is their capital suppose to be? Let me guess, Galkacyo? What a joke. Lol

Accept your cousin for who he is rather than who you want him to be. Real talk! First and foremost that is not Cusmaano and If you are long time Somalinet member you would have known how Cusmaano looks like. In fact people (Somalilanders) post his picture time and again. Second, Afisoone did indeed go back to Puntland to visit but he is not from there as it is evident from his accent. Either case, I still don't understand why you keep mentioning that he is from Puntland? I am pretty sure when people said he is related to Sharif they were just kidding. He does in fact look a lot like him, LOT. does that even matter? He is still a troll and incoherent and his pointless rants are tiresome regardless of where he hails from.

Afisoone is a classic troll. Nobody takes his pointless, senseless rants seriously. A man in his late 30's shouldn't speak like that.

I hope Mudug takse the cup. The place need a good news for once. I am rooting for them. ;)

^^ Well, thanks a bunch.

Khatumo is doing what puntland failed to do in the last 12 years, pull the rug from the 'Landers' pipe dream. Not true. The very exist of Puntland guaranteed Somaliland from leaving the union. Khaatumo boys are just waking up and yes they should be supported. ;)

^^ Faroole is a peculiar man and by far the majority of Puntlanders are completely outraged by this comments toward Khatuumo.The people of Sool, Sanag and cayn understand that regardless of Faroole's stand on this particular issue, by far the majority of Puntlanders have their back. I still don't understand why Faroole's opinions carry so much weight to you boys though . I mean would that really change the situation at hand? the truth of the matter is, SNM is being schooled by punch of under-aged, inexperienced boys armed with weapons from the 70's era. ;);) Faroole waa kiski uu shaqaystee, umaada reer Puntland oo dhaan sidaas ma ahaan.

The entire SNM army couldn't defeat a handful of militia who are armed with old and outdated weapons? How tragically humiliating. ;) ;) How many times did they retreat? I see some Landers are working over time to drift the attention from SNM's historical defeat.

I didn't read further than "country" ;)
