Abdi Hajji Hussein - AHN News Correspondent Bosaso, Somalia (AHN) - The semi-autonomous region of Somalia’s Puntland navy captured a Yemeni fishing boat near the coast of Bosaso town, officials said on Thursday. The Yemeni boat was fishing illegally in Puntland’s coastal area, an official from the seaports ministry told the media on condition of anonymity. He added the number of boat crew was 8, declining the details of their nationalities. Reports say the fishing vessel reached at Bosaso harbor last night, where coast guard officials are detaining the boat and its crew. No comment from the government of Yemen was immediately available. Since the fall of Somalia’s military government in 1991, foreign ships have illegaly fished and dumped industrial and nuclear waste off the Somali coast.

US plans to boost ties with breakaway Somali republics to fight radical Islamists By MATTHEW LEE , Associated Press Last update: September 24, 2010 - 12:35 PM NEW YORK - The Obama administration says it will boost ties with two breakaway republics in Somalia to combat a growing threat in the lawless country from Islamist extremists accused of links to al-Qaida. The top U.S. diplomat for Africa, Johnnie Carson, said Friday that American diplomats and aid workers will begin "aggressive" engagement with the self-declared republics of Somaliland and Puntland. It's part of a bid to prevent the spread of radical ideology espoused by the al-Shabab militia in southern Somalia. Carson says the U.S. would not extend formal diplomatic recognition to the two entities but would help their governments with agriculture, health and education projects. He says the U.S. will continue to support Somalia's transitional government.

@ Sakhar* Mashallah! Thanks for posting for more pictures and info on Caluula!! Keep 'em coming.

Here's a tour of the town. Like Duke said, Caluula has beautiful mountains and coastline but need improved infastructure so it can become the next Bosaso.

Stunning landscape. I used to think that Bari region had desert mountains but I was shocked to see beautiful green mountains in Caluula.
