Please stop hijacking the thread and naga daaya faanka Somali ismadhaanto, please. It seems that Puntland is denying that there is any meeting between Somaliland and Puntland regarding SSC land. The statement from Garowe says that Abdiweli Gas was invited to participate in a security conference in Ethiopia and he was representing Somalia. It is clear that Silaayo administration has no clear strategy on the eastern front. I think they are desperate to talk to Puntland after their debacle in Taleex and Las Qoray. In the meantime, Puntland is busy working behind the scenes with SSC peacefully to restore Puntland unity.

May be a better solution will be to tax the hell out of Mira and Qat if it can not be banned ( almost impossible as too many are dependent on Qat trade). The goal should be to reduce consumption in the long run and free Somali from this destructive addictive drug which has impact on the dysfunction of the Somali nation.

To ban Mirra is first step. I will also remove the useless Ambassador America who was complacent in the arrest of thousands of Somalia and the looting of Somali property in Kenya. Instead of defending them he was minimizing the damage done to Somalis in Kenya stating that few hundred were arrested when thousands were being held in stadiums like animals.

Ciidan good that you write D block is your enemy. Thank you for letting D Blocks in your neck of the woods realize that your clan project is exclusive for your clan and your whole project is based on revenge. This is one of the results of miscalculation of Siilaanyo adventure in Las Qoray and Taleex. More set backs for this fruitless adventure by Siilaanyo to come.

The Garaad defection does not change anything, after all he is following his sub sub subclan. With Minister Xirsi threating to capture Garowe, Somaliland is itching toward all out war with Puntland. By capturing Talex, they alienated Khaatumo and now Khaatumo is ready to sit down with Puntland. All this shows is that Silaanyo is getting bad advice and proving to the world that he is warmonger

Hawdian where in Africa?. I bet as refugee you are known as Somali and can be kicked out anytime. Still same thing applies, if you want to fight go and fight for your adeer Silaanyo, but you live in peace somewhere in Africa and I bet you can't.

Somaliland should close the border , if you have aligiance to moqadisho go ther . For safety reasons the international border between somaliland and somaliya must be closed. Easy for keyboard warrior. Why don't you go there and fight. I know you can't because life is too good in the west.

1- Create peace and stability in Somalia 2- Guarantee recognition for Somaliland You attack and take warmonger action, then claim peace. It is clear Silaanyo is getting bad advice and I can guarantee you this will not get int'l sympathy or recognition.

Burahadeer don't be blind supporter of Silaanyo, all these actions he is taking don't make any sense. For example, by occupying Talex, he is pushing Khaatumo around which may drive it back to Puntland. A better strategy will have been to leave Khaatumo and Puntland to face each other. The topic is about Silaanyo and I don't understand what Kismayo have to do with the topic.

Silaanyo enters Las Qoray and leaves quickly. He did not even stay to drink a cup of tea. Now he sends troops to occupy Talex and suddenly vacates the city. By taking these actions, even though it is feels good for some of his supporters, he is creating an image of warmonger at a time when Somalis are tried of war. This is not good for Somaliland strategically and if war breaks out, he will take all the blame and weaken Somaliland cause. What do our brothers from Somaliland think of these actions, an action of visionary or an action of senile old man who is getting bad advice from his close political associates?

Xaaji Habaar, how is he fraud. Isn't he a doctor in London and Germany?. For you it is always my tribe right or wrong?

Zack, No. Of course you can't from your keyboard. If Jigjiga does that they will be the losers. Just like the people of Hargaysa lost a highly qualified Somali doctor due to corrupt Somaliand govt officials.

Abdiweli show casing the progress Puntland made over the years. I believe he is the man who can move Puntland and hopefully Somalia forward toward peace and prosperity. If he succeeds in Puntland, his next target will be Villa Somalia I hope. Somalia needs experienced technocrats who know how to build not how to destroy.

Xaaji habaar I am sure you will not say this if Silaanyo was traveling when the police commander was killed. All you are doing is scoring partisan scoring points. Don't you get tried of so much negativity toward other Somalis even though you are Somali and a refugee lucky enough to have escaped the misery of Somalia.

Xaaji Habaar how come you are not coping and pasting bad news from your beloved Somaliland. The irony, Taliyihii booliska degmada Xaaji Saax ee Somaliland oo xalay la dilay Talaado, Feberaayo 25, 2014 (HOL) — Taliyihii booliska ee degmadda Xaaji Saalax ee hoos timaadda degmadda Oodweyne ee gobolka Togdheer, ayaa xalay xalli dambe lagu dilay tuuladda Laan-Mulaaxo oo uuu joogay hawlo shaqo. Alla ha u naraxiistee Hure Sahal ayaa dablay hubaysani ku dileen tuuladdaasi, iyadoo dadkii dilka gaystay markiiba baxsadeen. Gudoomiyaha Degmadda Xaaji Saalax Khadar Cabdi Oday, ayaa sheegay in dilkaasi ahaa mid aad looga naxay, isla markaana u dhacay qaab fool xun oo dadweynihii deegaanku ka xumaadeen. "kowdii habeenimo ayaa Hure Sahal Lagu Dilay Tuuladda Laan-Mulaaxo oo uu hawlo uTagay, sida la sheegayo waxa taliyaha loo dilay aano hore oo ka dhexeysay laba beelood oo walaalo ah oo deegaamadan wada Daga, kuwaasi oo Dilal Hore Isu Gaystay Markaa Hadda Weli Lama aasin"ayuu yidhi gudoomiyaha degmadda xaaji Saalax oo ka tirsan degmadda Oodweyne KHadar Cabdi oo siday wax u dhaceen ka hadlayey. Gudoomiyaha ayaa sheegay inay dawladu usoo dirtay ciidamo ka hawlgala arintaasi, isla markaana odayaal iyo wax garad ku soo fool leeyihiin degmadda si ay u dajiyaan beelaha kacsan. Illaa hadda lama qaban dableydii taliyaha dishay, inkastoo ciidan badan ku soo wajahan yihiin goobtii dilku ka dhacay si loo soo qabto. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, deegaanada bariga Somaliland ayey ku badan yihiin inay beeluhu isku dileen si aargoose ah, taasina waxay keentay inay inta badan beelaha wada degaa isku dhacaan, waxaana taliyaha dilkiisa ka dambeeyey beel hore qof looga dilay.

Malistar Faroole was not troublemaker in fact he and Adbiweli Gas and Sh. Sharif helped establish this Somali federal government that is finally recognized worldwide. Faroole was not happy with how some HAG members have or trying to change the constitution without proper procedure. He was right and Abdiweli agrees with him. Faroole left a legacy for Puntland and Somalia and Xaaji I know you hate Puntland and I know why but be objective tell me what did Damjadid win over Abdiweli?

Damuljadid faction have proven how incompetent they are and you are mistaken if you think they can hoodwink Abdiweli Gas and Puntland. All Puntanders and Somalis understand that guiding the Federal government to establish peace and security is monumental task and it is better if all Somali stakeholders cooperate so that they can get rid of Amison which intends to remain in Somalia in perpetuity.

It seems that Indhacade is upset because his 3 bililiqo houses in Mogadisho was destroyed by shabaab. It is very personal for him. The irony for the man who caused so much mayhem in the south, now is getting a taste of his own medicine.

Tarsan says kill captured shabaab "Walahi hadii degmo kasta isku xirnaato ammaanka waa hagaagaa, Maxkamad dambe ma jiri doonto oo Shabaab la saarayo, meeshii lagu arko waa dil yeyna xabsi gadan, yeyna laaluush dhiibin, qabuurta halagu ogaado, ciyaar yar yar miyaa amnigeena naga qaadayo"ayuu yiri Maxamuud Axmed Tarsan. Indhacade concurs and says the same. " Wallaahi Billaahi Tallaahi in Al Shabaab aan qabtay inaanan Maxkamad geyneynin gurigaad dumideen waan soo dagaa waan imaana waana garanayaa meelaha aad joogtaan iyo guryaha aad degen tihiin Cali dheeri gurigaasa ayaan aqaan , Khaliif Cadalle ayaan garanayaa iyo Xuseen Cabdulle Xalane adeerkiisaan ahay gurigiisa ayaan aqaan” ayuu yiri Sheekh Yuusuf Max’ed Siyaad ( Indhacade)." These reports are in Jowhar.com & Shabelle.net. Do you agree or is this wrong and far from achieving justice in the long run. Aside from the hardcore al-qacida affiliated individuals, isn't there a better way to dry up the well that shabaab are getting their unlimited supply of young brainwashed teenagers to do the dirty work of bombing, killing and maiham.

Nothing wrong with visiting Mogadisho, after all Puntland is part of the Federa government. Abdiweli government already stated they will talk to the federal government to resolve all outstanding issues. This Puntland government is full of good, capable and decent people who are working hard to better the lives of their people. As Xiinfaniin used to say Xaaji, habaar inkaaran Alle ma aqbalo.

Xaaji you are kidding? Abdiweli is more than a politician, he is what Somalia needs at this hour of need. if we had more PH.D holders among our politicans or even B.S Somalia may not have become a failed state.Abdiweli has the necessary experience in conflict resolution which what Somalia needs. Of course you are blinded by secession that is clouding your judement and you don't even hide it. What is happening to your 10 predictions. Faroole won by landslide not. May be someone needs to keep the score.

Xaaji Xayran is losing it. Somalia is moving forward and Puntland as usual is in the forefront. Faroole pushed the federal system forward and Abdiweli will continue so that Somalia is reborn. Puntland just elected the most educated Somalia technocrat who was a professor at NY University and consultant for New York State on conflict resolution. We need many Abdiuwelis on resolving the never ending Somali conflict. Ku dayo Puntland saxib.

Mintid why change the title of the article? Not negative enough. This is the actual title Somalia's Piracy Has Major Global Costs, but Also Incentives I would ask which is worse: Killing and uprooting thousands of their fellow Somali citizens in Laascaano and as we I write in Buuhoodle at this very minute (robbing nomads of their livestock, burying water wells etc around Buhoodle) for mainly clan reasons or few hundred pirates who are robbing (not killing) non Somali vessels on the high seas. Neither of them are honorable but killing SSC people is worse and will have lasting effect.

African Own you are wrong about "enemies till death". Don't worry sooner or later the people in the triangle will see the futility of secession.
