Give me examples of my unreasonable actions, ya Che. Because I highlighted a few examples of a certain region's current difficulties using objective, third-party sources? I don't engage in the usual 'Habartey baa sidaa ii sheegtey iyo wax la mid ah'! So why have you convicted me, my friend? Secondly, the parties you refer to seemed to have a far greater effect on you once your Puntland citizenship was put in jeopardy You went from a rational observer of the Somali saga to labeling anything that moves a certain derogatory term which refers to 'a woman of ill repute' I will wait for your Pendulum to swing back to Equilibrium, if you know what I mean...

The mountain of proof builds up (as much as others try to deny it)! For those who were claiming nothing happened except the death of the singer, here's more (In case you missed the posting by JB on the other thread): In Af-Somali: Link And in English: Link

^^ But remember, according to our friends here on SOL, it didn't happen. Even if the Puntland VP is interviewed by the BBC or VOA and describes the fighting - It still didn't happen! Instead you'll hear cries of 'why are you picking on Puntland'. Then they will pivot to the unrelated subject of 'Somaliland refuses to have elections!'. A man who's pointing at the quality of the shoes another man is wearing while not realizing he himself is barefoot ! Cajiib.

^^ We will consider your brotherly/sisterly advice with an open heart & mind Now let's get back on topic.... We're extremely concerned about the fate of the Puntland experiment. After all, given examples around the world, it's very dangerous for us to have a ' failed state' next door to us. Very worrisome, indeed...

^^ Good point. But this company was also a significant source of revenue for the Puntland administration and paid for the refurbishing of the rudimentary Garowe airstrip (it also lined the pockets of Adde Muse and his nephew, Liban Boqor). Now it's in no condition for further payments to the administration. So the usual revenue streams are slowly disappearing. Hence, the drive to get a piece of the action re: the anti-piracy funds - to the point of hiring a $10,000/month lobbyist in Washington. We'll see how long even that lobbyist can be kept on retainer with the fast dwindling coffers. It's a catch-22 for the administration - They cannot be in any way connected to the Pirates right now with the whole world watching closely, yet the Pirates are the last remaining source of ready 'Cash-Funds'. What do you think?

So given that Puntland is the only play in Range's book, I don't quite see how global market swings are affecting Range's performance. Do you??

Maybe Af-Somali would be easier for my obtuse students! GAROOWE : M.waynaha PL "Waxaa nala ku yiri Maamulkiina ayaa qayb ka ah burcad-badeeda" Posted to the Web Apr 24, 11:54 Garoowe:- M.waynaha Puntland Dr.C/raxmaan Sheekh Maxamed oo maanta Masaajid dhexdiis khudad ka jeediyay ayaa wuxuu sheegay kulamo caalami ah oo ay Nayroobi ku yeesheen in maamulkiisa lagu shaabadeeyay burcad-badeed oo lagu eedeeyay in qayb ka mid ah maamulka ay xiriir la leeyihiin burcad-badeeda.

Gentlemen from Puntland, Right now, I, Mintid, am your best friend I keep telling you 'the Puntland boat is in trouble'! Unfortunately, you're getting worked up instead of thanking me for the free advice. Usually, when a boat is sinking at sea, the definitive sign to look for is: The Rats getting off the boat! Exhibit A,B, & C: Where's Abdullahi Yusuf, where's Adde Muse, and where's Hassan Abshir? Are things beginning to make sense? I'm surrounded by very obtuse students :mad:

What part of the article didn't you guys understand? Faroole is telling his followers that in his meetings in Nairobi, he was told his gov't is in bed with the pirates. He denied it. Then he was told that the previous administration, Adde Muse's, was also in bed with the pirates. He denied that as well. This is all from Faroole's mouth. Now the question is who's the international community that's telling him this? Who did Faroole meet with while in Nairobi? Was it the UN? No the UN is an international NGO that does the bidding of its member states. According to popular Puntland accounts, Faroole met with the American Ambassador in Kenya as well as the EU Resident Rep in Nairobi. He also met with some European diplomats including the Italian & French Embassies. It was these Westerners with their intelligence sources (two of which might be Duke & Emperor ) that made this accusation against Faroole. Now do you think they're going to give funds to an administration that they (rightfully or wrongfully) see as profiting from the piracy? Connect the dots, gentlemen, you can't possibly be that slow! How I feel about Puntland is irrelevant to the equation. I've presented my evidence straight from the horse's mouth...

Duke, What have I been telling you for the last 2 weeks about Faroole's trip to Nairobi? These are your own sources being quoted by the BBC Monitoring Service which is just a translation service. You are an obstinate student JB, They're (Xiin, Duke, and Emperor) going to add Puntlandpost to the list of sites we're banned from quoting

Puntland president says international community links his government with piracy 25 April 2009 04:57 AM BBC Monitoring Africa English © 2009 The British Broadcasting Corporation. All Rights Reserved. No material may be reproduced except with the express permission of The British Broadcasting Corporation. Text of report by Somali pro-Puntland government Puntlandpost website on 25 April The president of the Puntland administration , Dr. Abdirahman Shaykh Muhammad, today speaking at a mosque in Garoowe said that he attended international conferences in Nairobi, Kenya, in which he was told that part of the officials in his administration have relations with the Somali pirates that abduct ships along the Somali coast and the Gulf of Aden. " We were told that our administration has ties with Somali pirates. We told them we do not have any relations with the pirates and that we have done our investigation and established that officials of the administration have no relations with them whatsoever. We were then told that the previous administration had ties with the pirates and we said we never heard of it and do not believe the previous administration had any ties with the pirates," said the president of Puntland. The president upon returning to Puntland yesterday spoke of piracy while still at the airport and said that the whole world links Puntland with piracy. He said it was possible that an international operation will be carried out against the pirates. It is worth remembering that the president of the Puntland administration a few days ago appealed for 20m US dollars to fight piracy saying that it was unable to do anything about the problem of piracy if it did not get international assistance.

Madaxweyne ku xigeenka Puntland oo booqday G/Sool 24 Apr 24, 2009 - 6:32:54 PM Madaxweyne ku xigeenka Maamul Goboleedka Soomaaliyeed ee Puntland (DGPL) Gen. Cabdisamad Cali Shire ayaa kormeer howleed maanta ku tagay goobo ay ku sugan yihiin ciidamada Daraawiishta DGPL oo ku yaala Gobolka Sool. Madaxweyne ku xigeenka ayaa sidoo kale kormeerkiisa ku tagay tuulooyin ka tirsan G/Sool sida: Tukaraq, Higlada iyo Buuro Wadal. Gen. C/samad Cali Shire waxaa ku weheliyay hawlihiisa kormeerka qaar ka tirsan Golaha Xukuumada DGPL iyo mudanayaal ka tirsan Baarlamaanka Puntland. Intii uu socday kormeerka Madaxweyne ku xigeenku ayaa waxaa rasaas ku soo riday ciidamo ka tirsan Darawiishta Puntland kuwasoo sida la sheegay diidanaa in si rasmi ah uga qeybgalaan tirinta iyo dib-u-habaynta lagu wado dhamaan ciidamada amniga Puntland. Madaxweyne ku xigeenka oo saakay [Apr. 24] ka tagay Caasimadda DGPL ee Garowe ayaa watay ciidamo ka socda Ilaalada Madaxtooyada kuwasoo iska caabin ku sameeeyey ciidamadii gadoodsanaa. Sida uu noogu soo waramay wariyaha Radio Garowe Axmed Cali Faarax oo la socday wafdigii kormeerka ma jirto wax dhibaata ah oo ka dhalatay rasaasta la is dhaafsaday. Madaxweyne xigeen Gen. C/samad Cali Shire ayaan wali ka hadlin dhacdadii maanta wuxuuna Garowe ku soo laabtay maqribnimadii iyadoo wararku intaasi ku darayaan inuu warbixin kooban siiyay Madaxweynaha Puntland C/raxman Maxamad Maxamud (Farole). Maamulka cusub ee Puntland ayaa ka dib intii la doortay dib-u-hayn si xowli ku socota ku waday qeybaha kala duwan ee hey'adaha amniga sida Ciidamada Darawiishta oo loo sameeyey barro ciidan oo ay ku qaataan tabararo militari iyo mushaaraadkooda. RADIO GAROWE This was the official Puntland take on yesterday's incident between the Somaliland military and Puntland militia. It claims that it was actually disgruntled Puntland militia that fired on the Puntland VP. This forced him to return to Garowe where he reported the incident to Faroole according to Garowe-Online. What's most interesting is that I quoted this in another thread yesterday, and miraculously, the news story has been removed from Garoweonline.com as of today. The 'tol' is fast in damage control Meanwhile Xiin and Duke where claiming nothing happened in the area because Puntland webportals were only reporting the passing of a Somali singer. The same portals, I might add, that were reporting Abdullahi Yusuf will be in power for another 100 years and al-Shabaab were just a few dead-enders.... Some never learn from past mistakes...

The Contradictions of Poor Xiin: Originally posted by xiinfaniin: Awoowe India and Pakistan are two countries that have real border disputes. Somaliland and Puntland are two regions in one country called Somalia. However as you can see in this thread, in the head of some deluded brothers there is a border that worth fighting, albeit imaginary one. It's wrong for Somaliland, an internationally accepted governing entity to disarm and disperse militias in its outlying areas. Originally posted by xiinfaniin: The essence of the conflict is: there is a tacit agreement between parties of Kismayo admin to prevent any armed groups to establish foot in the region regardless of Qabiil they belong. When local clans tried in Jammaame, alshabaab immediately dispersed them. In Cabdille Biroole, a local militia wanted to form a military base, and one group that is part of Kismayo admin immediately dispersed them. Is it sustainable? Time will tell. But it’s a good strategy in my opinion to monopolize the military power in the region. Yet it's OK for his kin hiding under Islamic garb to attack and disperse other related clans. Yaa Duniya...

^^^ Xaaji is definitely Somaliland's Ariel Sharon

Originally posted by xiinfaniin: quote:Originally posted by Mintid Farayar: Do you see the contradiction in your Double-Speak?? No I don’t see a contradiction at all. Instead I see a glaring comprehension problem from your part. A major war between these two regions (which i doubt will happen in this time ) would be a distraction from the internal politicking of SL, and an excuse to post pone the looming election. However it will not be part of a campaign to win votes for the simple reason that election wont be held in the midst of a war yaa man la caqla lah "Major War" ku lahaa I think you confuse your kin with Al Shabaab&Company. Come back to reality, Xaji. That's the real threat to Somaliland (Al Shabaab&Co), not you. Puntland is just easy prey... Real politick...

Faroole is attempting to put some bandages on that very poor international image of Puntland as "Pirateland". As I told Duke last week, no funds are coming to Faroole or Puntland anytime soon and the whole trip to Kenya was for naught... As much as I try to teach Duke, he's extremely hard-headed. In my father's time, that type of student was forced to sit at the last row in the Sheikh School

SOMALILAND: Coming to a neighborhood near you, SOON

Originally posted by xiinfaniin: Seriously i thought SL was in a election footing, not in a fighting mode! Or this is perhaps part of the election . That's a possibility, however what's most interesting is the forked tongue that you and your kin speak with - when it comes to the Somaliland issue. Case Study #1 in Contradictions/Doubl eSpeak: You and your acolytes often claim the issue of independence for Somaliland is fueled by Hargeisa elites and not supported by most of the population. Yet on the other hand, you classify moves to secure the border of the nation-state from neighboring entities as election induced moves to win favor with the public. This implies the popularity of this action with the majority of the public. Do you see the contradiction in your Double-Speak??
