The clan fiefdom in Garowe has been experiencing prolonged political stalemate and sporadic outbreaks of armed conflict. Much of the instability is linked with lack of competence from the administration who failed to restore confidence in governance systems and the rule of law, and providing the population with greater hope for the future. According to reliable UN reports, high-ranking government officials are noted to be involved with piracy, human trafficking and money laundering like Puntland President Cabdiraxman Faroole and his son, who are both from the leading piracy hub of the world, Eyl. This latest assassination of Radio Daljir Reporter is following after media constraint enactments have been announced by Maxamed Faroole, the son and media advisor of the clan fiefdom leader.

Atam’ subclans (Xussen Idris) have long been subjected to isolation and were far neglected from the levers of power-sharing in Bosaso of whom they make up a majority. The fierce nature of the clan is a product of prior incidents. As far as you comparing Atam to Jama Abdisalan? Who is Jama Abdisalan? A clown from your sub-clan who is insignificant and has never been heard of vs a clan leader (Atam) (Xuseen Idris) who created law and order in his base (Western Bari) and fought your clan fiefdom + Amisom aid + merceneries from Sool and Sanaag. Adeer you’re full of nonsense. Despite where the wind falls, Atam will be remembered for standing up to injustices. As Thanksful noted, SSDF clan fiefdom would have never dared to step foot in Western Bari if it was not for bought mercenaries from Western Bari. My stance on this situation is ever-clear, but I won’t waste my time exchanging words with insignificant men, who are isolated mentally and physically by clan barriers, an illness that I refuse to host. Sultan Saciid represents a legitimate entity that can intervene. I'm sure the men in Galgala would welcome that proposal. War is never a better substitute than peace. This incident is the result of a bad recipe, thus Makhiri's should create an administration. The formation of Puntland should have created substantive outcomes for every clan that was represented. It should have offered all the relevant forces real opportunities to improve their material and moral well-being. The biggest enemy of the Garowe clan fiefdom (Puntland) as a political entity is not Atam or his subclan as many has doomed to explain, its “performance failure.” If it can’t deliver the services that it was created for, it might not be worth having it.

They shrinked the whole Makhir region into a small corner. You can't get much worse than this map. The Makhiri coast stretches to near Mait, at least 100 K.M west of Las Galweita -- a natural harbor. Second, why is Erigavo, Eela-qoday, Biyo-gudud, Darasalaam part of "Somaliland"? Btw, the grazing areas of several sub-clans of Makhir reach the Gar'adag. It's like this map is concocted by a secessionist influenced outsider and much of what he drew is a political reflection of Puntland's media propoganda. The PL media didn't figure out that by labeling a whole region as a stronghold of al-shabab, not only have they lost the support of the local population but they have also fed the world the wrong info.

Here is a distinguished Chief speak out against Puntland in an interview with BBC Somali service. The elder (Sahardiid Ali Dhawaq) put the onus of any type of solution on the shoulders of President Farole and his Interior Minister when asked what they should do now as a solution to the crisis. "They decided to scrap any meaningful role the Elders could have hitherto played, so they own the crisis and they must pay a dear price for it," Sahardid related to Yonis. "We are asking the international community and international relief agencies for their assistance and to send an emergency team in order to help the needy and the displaced."

Beer-gaal, what do you know of Abdi Jamal and his private militia. Wasn't he part of "Somaliland" not long ago before he signed up again with Puntland after they promised and gave him the deputy security post just right before the declaration of war. He was recently pelted with rocks by a group of angry demonstrators in Dhahar for siding with Faroole's war and not with the locals' right to defend their natural resources. He and two other officials are alone in this ugly business. Now he singlehandedly dared attack Attam probably under the assumption that he will be approached with lenient terms than the militias from Northern Mudug, Sool and Garowe. He paid a dear price. Beer-gaalow, I haven't seen you condemn the injustices of Puntland. You are quite comfortable with Farole's scorching policies to uproot whole communitie and to abandon the city of Las Anod, a city that is more strategic than Galgala. It's time that you criticize the admin and root for the impeachment of Faroole and his war cabinet.

^He was still too reserved from other important issues. Nevertheles, great points made by the Elder.

As a Makhiri person, I know that one of the few appointed personnel currently petitioning the "Somaliland" secessionist administration have never set foot on Makhir soil. They are considered self-interested opportunists and pariahs in the eyes of their community, that is why Mr. Silanyo can discard and replace them with much better puppets. They have no say in the actual daily affairs of the powerful Makhir community and their expansive land that stretches from Erigavo to Bosaso up to the Sool Plateau. It's sad that they are being used as puppets to hoodwink the international community. At least their petitions would have appealed to common sense if "Somaliland" was an actual, internationally recognized state. Silanyo himself is considered a governor of a region, mainly dominated by his clan (numerically minority in the larger scheme of Somalia's major ethnic groups}.

THE LAND OF PUNT: grass roots factor to Security and Economic development By: Mohammed Elmi (Dholey) I would like to revisit this article published in 2006 by popular Somali websites and would like to share with readers the genesis of Puntland State. The Galgala debacle stemmed from a decade old conflicts between Puntland and communities of Sanaag, Haylaan and Western Bari. For those interested in root causes, this piece is an eye openner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAND OF PUNT: Grassroots factor to Security and Economic development Designated as the land of primal trading ties with the ancient civilization of Egypt, Land of Punt still keeps its distinctive characterization of trade in the Red Sea. Here in Sanaag and Bari regions of Somalia the Pharaohs used to come and purchase a variety of commodities such as frankincense and myrrh that were sold to them by the local dynasties. Until today, frankincense and myrrh yield more returns for the economic sector of Puntland state. Exports of livestock earnings, remittances, humanitarian aid, and small subsistence farming around Galgala district have also proved to be the principal sources of income. With its vibrant emporium, Bossaso, Puntand, in its de facto state power, has been able to raise taxes (Real Estate, and Private Businesses) and charge levies on imported goods thus swelling its reserve for the treasury. This has afforded it to create public services (limited only to few districts) and maintain instruments for security provision, thereby improving the relationship between the regional state and the people. Though all of these developments from the region helped build reputable portrait for Abdillahi Yusuf during his tenure as a president of Puntland and so his quest for the head of Somalia, they also marked a time of much-needed democratization as there were genuine anticipations of upcoming state elections and easy transfer of power after Abdilahi Yusuf became the president of Somalia. These two elements of democratic process are somewhat alien to African Nations, at least most of them. Yet, they accorded Puntland, an illegitimate state, a national symbol similar to Somaliland’s “best kept secret”. However, recently we are witnessing a new direction and uncertain outlook as its cabinet ministers were reshuffled, but then the reshuffling process returned the same ministers to their former portfolios except the Planning Minister Farole whose termination turned out to be a violent battle at Garowe, the capital. Gun fires were exchanged in which two persons were killed and one person wounded. Ever since Gen. Adde came to power in Puntland, the region has been deteriorating in its political and economic developments as well as its cohesiveness. Prior to the establishment of the region as a regional autonomy, the goal was to revive the position of a certain group in the political arena. There were disintegration amongst clans, lack of central authority, and increased vulnerability to hostile attacks on its territories from Hargeisa administration in her attempt to secure artificial borders demarcated by the former colonial administration. Besides, a war of attrition and sporadic factional conflicts in Galkacyo from militias of Southern Mudug and Galgadud added to its growing insecurity. The whole region was in debacle and too weak in form to act a deterrence against fierce rivals from both Hargeisa and Mogadisho. So, the genesis or the basis of its creation emerged out of a strategic concern for security interests, preservation of a common identity from a possible separation, and to enhance both of its political and economic security. Hence, by accommodating all the divergent clans that make up the ***** sub-clan of *****, Puntland was formed as a sub-state mechanism that is entrenched in kinship networks. Creation of Puntland On Jan 1994, the first all-inclusive meeting of ***** clan was arranged in Garowe conference under the “UNISOM-sponsored peace conferences” (also known as the ***** conference). The Al-Hayat newspaper was said to have reported that, “"more than 250 clan leaders, traditional arbitrators of the regions and, ulama (religious leaders)” attended the conference. The risk embedded in this particular convention was that it divided politicians of Sool and Sanaag as “collaborationists” of Garowe conference and “antagonists” led by the two Garads of *********** section of *****. This latter group’s position supported the Borama meeting, which preceded the Garowe meeting , of which they were signatories. However, the “collaborationist” led by Awad Ahmad Ashara won legitimacy of who is to represent the Northern *****, and he was, therefore, recognized as the rightful representative of Sool and Sanaag constituency by UNISOM, under the chairmanship of the old U.S.P. This party of old standing was retrieved from a defunct status so as to “dispense justice and decide the rights of the subject”. The United Nation which has yet to give a green light to the “secessionists” was with this latter group, making an implicit support that no group is to misrepresent, claim, or employ arbitrary power over another group’s “liberty, land, and possession”. Thus, having received both financial and political backing, the deliberative process of the conference had gone uninterrupted with the consent and participation of the traditional elders, Garads, Sultans and Issims. It was not until 1998 that the state building formation of Puntland was officially announced and effectuated. Though, tribal territories overlap, Puntland state incorporates five regions as one. Moreover, a question of social need was raised as to how a bottom-up approach resolution to our strife-ridden society be established. For instance, a bottom-up approach to state building is a vision that underlay the fundamental reason for a “social contract” theory developed by Thomas Hobbes. As an alternative to their customary security arrangement, a society may decide to renounce its indigenous rights and delegate political authority figures to take over the responsibility of their land in exchange of “mutual vows and commitment” to one another. Al-Farabi, an Arab philosopher, explicates. ‘The unsatisfactory nature of this mode of existence eventually drives Man to join with others who find themselves in a similar predicament to seek a means of mutual protection………This voluntary renunciation of rights, taken in the form of mutual vows and commitments, constitutes a compact between the people and the sovereign that establishes the state.’ It seems a primary care was given to meet this fundamental condition of state formation and finally a mutual agreement of power-sharing system based on clan composition and territoriality was reached. However, as years have gone by, Puntland’s fair representation enshrined in its constitution was never taken into consideration by its top leader. Instead, nepotism, cronyism and all forms of corruption replaced its institutional foundation. The current president selectively singled out ministers highly qualified for their respective positions by supplanting their hold with members who belong to his own sub-clan. According to its constitution; this is a violation of the social contract between the state and its stakeholders. The president is obliged to appoint any elected MP to a public office based on a merit and acceptable background. Sanaag And Sool Sanaag and Sool regions have suffered from the post-independency centralized administration of Somalia(1960-91). The Somali governments prior to the civil war had been very reluctant to allocate any resources to these two regions and therein lay the lagging of these regions behind other regions. An important location to note in which the centralized government of Somalia had built an important economic infrastructure is the Laasqorey fish-canning factory, but this industry collapsed with the state. Local businessmen then decided to invest a similar project that had neither remodeled nor rebuilt the old industry, in this historic city, which is good in fishery. Over the years, the industry has underwent a separation of ownership and management problems, creating a hostile takeover by businessmen from outside the region and who up to this time have remained impervious to the deterioration of the city as far as city development, education, and employment opportunities are concerned. In addition to the exclusion of public services from the interior department of Puntland due to a benign neglect, Las Qoray and by extension the whole region is facing gradual and severe social and economic decline. Nevertheless, there appears a slow progress in some parts of the region such as Dhahar and Badhan, two major cities in Sanaag but their improvements aimed at the educational and health sectors of the society still remain insufficient. Majority of the population are nomadic pastoralists whose source of income is mostly derived from the marketing of their livestock, earnings from remittances for those whose families live in the West, and NGO services like Horn Relief. Horn Relief’s Cash relief program that helped thousands of draught-stricken nomads during the Sool Plateau Draught deserves reward and recognition. Yet, these sources of income of sustainability are limited and fructify only during certain seasons of the year. “The usual seasonal migratory patterns of nomadic life are often determined by prolonged dry seasons and recurrent droughts, which occur once every 5 years, causing wells and water points to dry up forcing nomads and their livestock to migrate longer distances in life-threatening situations,” reports the annual report of “Puntland Facts and Figures”. On the other hand, the region is politically and economically isolated from the rest of the world. International NGO’s restricted activities in the regions perhaps impute to Garowe and Hargeisa and their depictions of these regions as under circumstances considered to be dangerous for functional U.N operation in order to foster strategic coordination of Aid Distribution on behalf of Sool and Sanaag people but without their consent and knowledge. The United Nation’s proposal of constructions and funding of primary schools around every region attest to this fact. Hardly has any school funded or built by either these two unofficial administration or UNICEF exist? Besides, there is a severe scarcity of water in Hadaftimo, a city coined as “thirsty city”. There are no streams, water drilling rigs, or other means of water supply in the city. A Horn Relief worker who had paid a visit to the city last year, reports, “Hadaftimo , a city of 20 thousand located Eastern Part of Somalia has no rivers, streams, creeks, and lakes which are vitally important to people's everyday life. Due to that there is no surface water available in the whole region; ground water can supply the water needs for Hadaftimo residents.” However, a new UN-backed initiative augurs well for the future of Sanaag in an effort to build a war-torn country. The article, “UN-backed reconstruction project launches largest survey to date” which is dated on 14 March, 2006, points that there will be national experts that will be dispatched to Somalia and particularly to “areas that are currently inaccessible to international team members, querying the many concerned Somalis from civil society and regional authorities in order to ensure all voices are heard and included in the ongoing Post Conflict Needs Assessments.” We should be thankful to the efforts of the UN and hope that all of the Somali regions will be equally helped and that no region is left behind. Moreover, the governor’s recent gaffe with regard to the increasing isolation and underdevelopment of Sool and Sanaag regions highlights an upward appeal to local Diasporas outside his control. An upward appeal (interpersonal influence tactics) is often a negative factor on someone’s reputation, ability, and confidence towards his own government. A leader should manifest a degree of dependency to both his people and public officials if he wants to increase his influence because such is the hallmark of leadership. The more degree of dependency the more chance the leader would have to strike efficiency. Otherwise, Puntland, as is evident of its degenerative signs, would sink to its early period in which a half of its populace might detach from its politics and put at risk the symbiotic relationship that strengthens the bond amongst the divergent clans of *****. Because a group of divergent clans agreed in principle to unite within a defined physical territory base and identity, it is thus fair to say that an agency problem theory exists between the current president Adde and **********, one of the three clans that formed Puntland. Finally, the main concern for having Puntland as a state has been security interests, collective effort to tackle the combined effect of draught and factional wars, and preservation of a common identity from a possible separation from the complex situation of Somalia’s dismemberment spearheaded by the ad hoc administration in Hargeisa, and this is still a strong case for the survival interest of Puntland as an unofficial de facto state, for instance, safety from direct attack. Up to now, Puntland has been relatively stronger than its rival Somaliland due to the fact that it has attracted more population from the South, which then stimulated its economic growth. Its main objectives, on top of the above-stated reasons, are to widen the scope of its core strengths, such as education, enhancement or remodeling of its economic infrastructure like the Bossaso and Laasqoray ports, roads, energy, and communication and transportation networks. It is certain that even partial of those have not been achieved and everything else is a misjudged essay in self-preservation as a paper regional state run by rogue officials. If Puntland is to survive, it must go back to a grassroots development by serving its entire regions and people on equal terms. Mohammed Elmi (Dholey)

A Horn Relief worker who had paid a visit to the city last year, reports, “Hadaftimo , a city of 20 thousand located Eastern Part of Somalia has no rivers, streams, creeks, and lakes which are vitally important to people's everyday life. Due to that there is no surface water available in the whole region; ground water can supply the water needs for Hadaftimo residents.” However, a new UN-backed initiative augurs well for the future of Sanaag in an effort to build a war-torn country. The article, “UN-backed reconstruction project launches largest survey to date” which is dated on 14 March, 2006, points that there will be national experts that will be dispatched to Somalia and particularly to “areas that are currently inaccessible to international team members, querying the many concerned Somalis from civil society and regional authorities in order to ensure all voices are heard and included in the ongoing Post Conflict Needs Assessments.” We should be thankful to the efforts of the UN and hope that all of the Somali regions will be equally helped and that no region is left behind. Moreover, the governor’s recent gaffe with regard to the increasing isolation and underdevelopment of Sool and Sanaag regions highlights an upward appeal to local Diasporas outside his control. An upward appeal (interpersonal influence tactics) is often a negative factor on someone’s reputation, ability, and confidence towards his own government. A leader should manifest a degree of dependency to both his people and public officials if he wants to increase his influence because such is the hallmark of leadership. The more degree of dependency the more chance the leader would have to strike efficiency. Otherwise, Puntland, as is evident of its degenerative signs, would sink to its early period in which a half of its populace might detach from its politics and put at risk the symbiotic relationship that strengthens the bond amongst the divergent clans of *****. Because a group of divergent clans agreed in principle to unite within a defined physical territory base and identity, it is thus fair to say that an agency problem theory exists between the current president Adde and **********, one of the three clans that formed Puntland. Finally, the main concern for having Puntland as a state has been security interests, collective effort to tackle the combined effect of draught and factional wars, and preservation of a common identity from a possible separation from the complex situation of Somalia’s dismemberment spearheaded by the ad hoc administration in Hargeisa, and this is still a strong case for the survival interest of Puntland as an unofficial de facto state, for instance, safety from direct attack. Up to now, Puntland has been relatively stronger than its rival Somaliland due to the fact that it has attracted more population from the South, which then stimulated its economic growth. Its main objectives, on top of the above-stated reasons, are to widen the scope of its core strengths, such as education, enhancement or remodeling of its economic infrastructure like the Bossaso and Laasqoray ports, roads, energy, and communication and transportation networks. It is certain that even partial of those have not been achieved and everything else is a misjudged essay in self-preservation as a paper regional state run by rogue officials. If Puntland is to survive, it must go back to a grassroots development by serving its entire regions and people on equal terms. Mohammed Elmi (Dholey)

THE LAND OF PUNT: grass roots factor to Security and Economic development By: Mohammed Elmi (Dholey) I would like to revisit this article published in 2006 by popular Somali websites and would like to share with readers the genesis of Puntland State. The Galgala debacle stemmed from a decade old conflicts between Puntland and communities of Sanaag, Haylaan and Western Bari. For those interested in root causes, this piece is an eye openner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAND OF PUNT: Grassroots factor to Security and Economic development Designated as the land of primal trading ties with the ancient civilization of Egypt, Land of Punt still keeps its distinctive characterization of trade in the Red Sea. Here in Sanaag and Bari regions of Somalia the Pharaohs used to come and purchase a variety of commodities such as frankincense and myrrh that were sold to them by the local dynasties. Until today, frankincense and myrrh yield more returns for the economic sector of Puntland state. Exports of livestock earnings, remittances, humanitarian aid, and small subsistence farming around Galgala district have also proved to be the principal sources of income. With its vibrant emporium, Bossaso, Puntand, in its de facto state power, has been able to raise taxes (Real Estate, and Private Businesses) and charge levies on imported goods thus swelling its reserve for the treasury. This has afforded it to create public services (limited only to few districts) and maintain instruments for security provision, thereby improving the relationship between the regional state and the people. Though all of these developments from the region helped build reputable portrait for Abdillahi Yusuf during his tenure as a president of Puntland and so his quest for the head of Somalia, they also marked a time of much-needed democratization as there were genuine anticipations of upcoming state elections and easy transfer of power after Abdilahi Yusuf became the president of Somalia. These two elements of democratic process are somewhat alien to African Nations, at least most of them. Yet, they accorded Puntland, an illegitimate state, a national symbol similar to Somaliland’s “best kept secret”. However, recently we are witnessing a new direction and uncertain outlook as its cabinet ministers were reshuffled, but then the reshuffling process returned the same ministers to their former portfolios except the Planning Minister Farole whose termination turned out to be a violent battle at Garowe, the capital. Gun fires were exchanged in which two persons were killed and one person wounded. Ever since Gen. Adde came to power in Puntland, the region has been deteriorating in its political and economic developments as well as its cohesiveness. Prior to the establishment of the region as a regional autonomy, the goal was to revive the position of a certain group in the political arena. There were disintegration amongst clans, lack of central authority, and increased vulnerability to hostile attacks on its territories from Hargeisa administration in her attempt to secure artificial borders demarcated by the former colonial administration. Besides, a war of attrition and sporadic factional conflicts in Galkacyo from militias of Southern Mudug and Galgadud added to its growing insecurity. The whole region was in debacle and too weak in form to act a deterrence against fierce rivals from both Hargeisa and Mogadisho. So, the genesis or the basis of its creation emerged out of a strategic concern for security interests, preservation of a common identity from a possible separation, and to enhance both of its political and economic security. Hence, by accommodating all the divergent clans that make up the ***** sub-clan of *****, Puntland was formed as a sub-state mechanism that is entrenched in kinship networks. Creation of Puntland On Jan 1994, the first all-inclusive meeting of ***** clan was arranged in Garowe conference under the “UNISOM-sponsored peace conferences” (also known as the ***** conference). The Al-Hayat newspaper was said to have reported that, “"more than 250 clan leaders, traditional arbitrators of the regions and, ulama (religious leaders)” attended the conference. The risk embedded in this particular convention was that it divided politicians of Sool and Sanaag as “collaborationists” of Garowe conference and “antagonists” led by the two Garads of *********** section of *****. This latter group’s position supported the Borama meeting, which preceded the Garowe meeting , of which they were signatories. However, the “collaborationist” led by Awad Ahmad Ashara won legitimacy of who is to represent the Northern *****, and he was, therefore, recognized as the rightful representative of Sool and Sanaag constituency by UNISOM, under the chairmanship of the old U.S.P. This party of old standing was retrieved from a defunct status so as to “dispense justice and decide the rights of the subject”. The United Nation which has yet to give a green light to the “secessionists” was with this latter group, making an implicit support that no group is to misrepresent, claim, or employ arbitrary power over another group’s “liberty, land, and possession”. Thus, having received both financial and political backing, the deliberative process of the conference had gone uninterrupted with the consent and participation of the traditional elders, Garads, Sultans and Issims. It was not until 1998 that the state building formation of Puntland was officially announced and effectuated. Though, tribal territories overlap, Puntland state incorporates five regions as one. Moreover, a question of social need was raised as to how a bottom-up approach resolution to our strife-ridden society be established. For instance, a bottom-up approach to state building is a vision that underlay the fundamental reason for a “social contract” theory developed by Thomas Hobbes. As an alternative to their customary security arrangement, a society may decide to renounce its indigenous rights and delegate political authority figures to take over the responsibility of their land in exchange of “mutual vows and commitment” to one another. Al-Farabi, an Arab philosopher, explicates. ‘The unsatisfactory nature of this mode of existence eventually drives Man to join with others who find themselves in a similar predicament to seek a means of mutual protection………This voluntary renunciation of rights, taken in the form of mutual vows and commitments, constitutes a compact between the people and the sovereign that establishes the state.’ It seems a primary care was given to meet this fundamental condition of state formation and finally a mutual agreement of power-sharing system based on clan composition and territoriality was reached. However, as years have gone by, Puntland’s fair representation enshrined in its constitution was never taken into consideration by its top leader. Instead, nepotism, cronyism and all forms of corruption replaced its institutional foundation. The current president selectively singled out ministers highly qualified for their respective positions by supplanting their hold with members who belong to his own sub-clan. According to its constitution; this is a violation of the social contract between the state and its stakeholders. The president is obliged to appoint any elected MP to a public office based on a merit and acceptable background. Sanaag And Sool Sanaag and Sool regions have suffered from the post-independency centralized administration of Somalia(1960-91). The Somali governments prior to the civil war had been very reluctant to allocate any resources to these two regions and therein lay the lagging of these regions behind other regions. An important location to note in which the centralized government of Somalia had built an important economic infrastructure is the Laasqorey fish-canning factory, but this industry collapsed with the state. Local businessmen then decided to invest a similar project that had neither remodeled nor rebuilt the old industry, in this historic city, which is good in fishery. Over the years, the industry has underwent a separation of ownership and management problems, creating a hostile takeover by businessmen from outside the region and who up to this time have remained impervious to the deterioration of the city as far as city development, education, and employment opportunities are concerned. In addition to the exclusion of public services from the interior department of Puntland due to a benign neglect, Las Qoray and by extension the whole region is facing gradual and severe social and economic decline. Nevertheless, there appears a slow progress in some parts of the region such as Dhahar and Badhan, two major cities in Sanaag but their improvements aimed at the educational and health sectors of the society still remain insufficient. Majority of the population are nomadic pastoralists whose source of income is mostly derived from the marketing of their livestock, earnings from remittances for those whose families live in the West, and NGO services like Horn Relief. Horn Relief’s Cash relief program that helped thousands of draught-stricken nomads during the Sool Plateau Draught deserves reward and recognition. Yet, these sources of income of sustainability are limited and fructify only during certain seasons of the year. “The usual seasonal migratory patterns of nomadic life are often determined by prolonged dry seasons and recurrent droughts, which occur once every 5 years, causing wells and water points to dry up forcing nomads and their livestock to migrate longer distances in life-threatening situations,” reports the annual report of “Puntland Facts and Figures”. On the other hand, the region is politically and economically isolated from the rest of the world. International NGO’s restricted activities in the regions perhaps impute to Garowe and Hargeisa and their depictions of these regions as under circumstances considered to be dangerous for functional U.N operation in order to foster strategic coordination of Aid Distribution on behalf of Sool and Sanaag people but without their consent and knowledge. The United Nation’s proposal of constructions and funding of primary schools around every region attest to this fact. Hardly has any school funded or built by either these two unofficial administration or UNICEF exist? Besides, there is a severe scarcity of water in Hadaftimo, a city coined as “thirsty city”. There are no streams, water drilling rigs, or other means of water supply in the city. A Horn Relief worker who had paid a visit to the city last year, reports, “Hadaftimo , a city of 20 thousand located Eastern Part of Somalia has no rivers, streams, creeks, and lakes which are vitally important to people's everyday life.

August 29, 2010 BOSASO - Sahardid Ali Dhawaq, a prominent chief elder gave his first interview to the BBC Somali service on Galgala and a brief illustration of the demographics of the area. He called for the withdrawal of Puntland armed forces as a pre-condition to a complete ceasefire and the resumption of talks. Sahardiid regretted Puntland Government's arbitrary decision to mount relentless offensive on the region in the midst of an ongoing negotiation. "The area is inhabited by farmers and nomads outside the Galgala district and it's a place the former, legitimate Somali government gave mineral and oil exploration rights to Houston's Conoco and others," explained Sahardid. The Sanaag elders as traditional arbitrators first initiated a fact-finding mission and peace overtures, but their efforts were undercut by Puntland authorities. "Over 700 families have been displaced by the war, farms burned and properties looted" said Sahardid. "We first approached Puntland authorities and urged them not to launch an attack, that they should allow us (the local chiefs and Ulama) to intervene and create an atmosphere of understanding and of mutual interest." The chief also reiterated how he warned of the risky side effects, but the authorities decided to ignore his warning only to use overwhelming force as an antidote to all the municipal problems and insecurity in Bosaso. Bosaso is the economic lifeline of the state and Puntland authorities in the capital town of Garowe fear that they might lose administrative control by letting another power take a firm root in the vicinities. "They were under the false assumption that eliminating Atam means the antidote to the widespread insecurity, to the string of kidnappings and high profile assasinations in Bosaso." "The President's militia instead uprooted over 700 families," Gerad Sahardiid told the BBC news anchor, Mr. Yoonis. The elder pointed to the social contract principle, which created the state of Puntland. He said that the current leaders acted as if they had no regard for the role of Elders in the state. "This theory of governance which Puntland adopted is that the elders have a constitutional right to initiate and engage in peace overtures," Sahardid explained to Mr. Yonis. "When and if the traditional arbitrators exhaust all avenues to peace and decide that it is beyond their capacity to resolve any social or political issue, they then call in the leaders of the state and give them a green light to employ its instrument of coercion." Mr. Sahardid regretted that Puntland authorities acted irresponsibly and without regard to what is advantageous and just. "Such irresponsible behavior of our leaders not only undermines the character-forming aspect of the state but they also expose ulterior motives because Puntland as a political community was founded under the shade of an acacia tree," Sahardiid said. The elder put the onus of any type of solution on the shoulders of President Farole and his Interior Minister when asked what they should do now as a solution to the crisis. "They decided to scrap any meaningful role the Elders could have hitherto played, so they own the crisis and they must pay a dear price for it," Sahardid related to Yonis. "We are asking the international community and international relief agencies for their assistance and to send an emergency team in order to help the needy and the displaced." The displaced families from western Bari region are estimated to be at least 700 families. Mohamed Elmi DhaharOnline

Booliska degmada Boosaaso oo baaraya dil xalay dhacay Sabti, Agoosto, 28, 2010 (HOL)-Ciidamada amniga degmada Bosaaso ayaa wada baaritaano ku aadan dil habeenkii xalay ahaa ka dhacay magaalada ,kaasi oo loo gaystay ruux dhalinyaro ah oo ka shaqayn jiray suuqa sarifka. Waxaa uu dilkan ka dhacay bartamaha magaalada,gaar ahaan meel ku dhow dowlada hoose ,waxaana dilkiisa fuliyay nin ku hubaysnaa baastoolado. Taliye ku xigeenka ciidamada boliska Puntland Maxamed Siciid ayaa sheegay in marxuumka dhintay lagu magacaabi jiray Cali Ismaaciil ,isla markaana uu ka mid ah dhalinyarada Bosaaso ku ganacsata. "Waxaa bolisku ay wadaan in gacanta lagu soo dhigo qofkii dilkaasi fuliyay,lamana garanayo sababta uu dilkan u dhacay" ayuu yiri taliyaha mar uu la hadlayay warbaahinta. Maxamed Siciid ayaa intaa ku daray in maxkamad la soo taagi doono gacan ku dhiiglihii dilka gaystay oo goobta ka baxsaday ka dib markii uu dilkan fuliyay. Magaalada Bosaaaso ayaa ahayd mudo bil ah mid aaney ka dhicin wax dilal qorshaysan ah,waxaana iminka dib u soo laabtay roondooyinkii magaalada laga qaban jiray xiliga habeenkii ah Faisel Maxamed Hassan, Hiiraan Online Boston@hiiraan.com Boosaaso, Soomaaliya

Nabadoon Saxardiid also added that Puntland will be responsible for ensuing consequences if they choose not to withdraw. This is 1 of 4 messages that elders from Sanaag, Haylaan and Western Bari had conveyed to the world. Faroole, the leader of the clan fiefdom in Garoowe has bypassed numerous peace initiatives proposed by Atam’s clan elders.

Nabadoon Saxardiid Cali Dhawaaq, a renowned clan chief from Western Bari speaks to BBC Somali service in regards to a communiqués recently sent to the world from Western Bari Clan Elders. The elder confirms that over 700 families were displaced from Galgala alone. The elder stated that Civilians fled town after Puntland militias have set fire on many farms. Abdirahman Faroole, the man responsible for displacing western Bari residents has massive links to piracy. This is another deceptive step to solicit further attention from the international community by inciting a war between his fiefdom and Atam’s local arm forces. Puntland is an illegitimate clan fiefdom that stretches from northern tip of Mudug, Nugaal and parts of Bari region. The fiefdom also has a reputation of corruption, nepotism and deep links to piracy directed by an illegal criminal network based in Garowe village. For those denying the communique, was this BBC audio also fabricated by Makhiri sites? Listen to Idaacada Subaxnimada from 13:20 - 23:03 good 10 minnute interview. http://www.bbc.co.uk/somali/
