As predicted

It's being reported that they started shelling again.

In terms of political arrangement, they want to come under Mogadishu nominally for the time being, something akin to Gedo but without headache of consistently being bothered by a neighbor and by Mogadishu. In terms of being Federal State, that they will be a hard issue to settle. They don't rightfully trust Garowe, and W-gale is fully incorporated into Puntland which works out for W-Gale as they live in Bari and Eastern Sanaag. And there is the issue of balancing D vs H number of states. Having said that Muse, a student of the Kacaan military, won't give up easily. Here's your native son of Awdal talking about the history of current situation and Muse general temperament.

They were in the process of doing that before Sland militia start shelling the city. Pland has no hand in it. In fact, they have little sway over the Garaads.More importantly, the general public in Puntland are decidedly in reer SSC's corner. Biixi simply overestimated his strength and foolishly thought others will jump in to de-escalate the situation.

They are buying time. Besides, there are fundamental differences that can't be bridged.

What happened to the terrorists?

Some are having meltdown.

This also came after their childish tantrum was ignored by International Community aka Beesha Lixaad and when Ismail Omar Gheele's silly claim of mediatating between reer Sool and secessionist administration was shut down by the Garaads.

Today's press from the Garaads

Secessionists want to talk now after calling reer Sool terrorists and insulting their Garaads. This is a mere ploy to regroup. Reer Sool won't forget the merciless bombarding of LA and deaths. Nothing short of vacating secessionist forces from Sool would do. Kudos to the Garaads and those men humbled the so-called SL army.

Xukuumada Somaliland oo ku dhawaaqday xabad joojin bilaa shuruuda HIIRAAN.COM Jimco, February, 10, 2023 (HOL) - Xukuumada Somaliland ayaa si rasmi ah ugu dhawaaqday xabad joojin hal dhinac ah, oo ay ku joojinayso dagaalka Laascaanood.

Muse Biixi did do one thing, and that's to unite reer Sool. The secessionists last hope was Garaad Jaamac Garaad Ismaaciil. They honestly taught he will turn blind eye to his city being bombarded and his people massacred. P.s. Secessionists forget Americans have assets all over Somalia.

I saw Awdal elders asking certain Somalis to stay and not panick. Apparently, students and some families have been leaving different regions.

No, simple, ugly concrete, in other words, the bare minimum.

And this is one of the bases so called army was stationed at

Some of them are foriegn educated and hold another nationalities including overall Garaad. Secessionists thought there are dealing with old timers and they can control the narrative.
