Layla Ismail Tahir - this is a distinct Somali name. She could be Sujui but Somali. I can't think of any Swahili person with that name. Their names sound this, Undugu Matoto, Yareeri Julias, Kawkwete...

^Adigu rag baa ishayee meesha kadhaxbax. Abtigiis, I expected from you nothing more than the usual nonsense. At times what a great nationalist you become, bwahahahha I even admire it and salute your Somalinimo

For how long do we have to ask the same question, since time immemorial people have been asking and not accepting the reality on the ground. Saxb why ask this question when you know that Ethiopia has armed all Somali factions since 91, all regions and Somali leaders have and get instructions from Addis Ababa, uncle Sam selected them to be responsible for Somalia. These are facts on the ground, lets be real and accept the truth. We are a failed state and broken society - that's another painful truth.

Reviving three years old topic and making it look like something relevant now to score a point against Xiin. Waar iska daaya desperate-nimada ee rag iska dhiga.

What is A&T talking about? I thought the man reformed and changed, after his support of the Kenyan invasion, his celebrations of the Ethiopian presence in Bay, Bakool and Hiiraan. Mase he reverted back to his old ways when supposedly a man from Puntland visited Addis Ababa. Markaasaa Ethiopianka lanacaayoo inay qurun yihiin lasheegaayoo, wadaninimo iyo Somalino gashaayoo, inay Puntlandes-ka yihiin traitors and treason galeen la akhriyaa oo si qiiro jabaan kujirto meel kasta loogu soo qoraa, heh? Its a pattern, lessons of the past revisited, its the same tone the same writing style of three or 4 years ago.

This Carafaat dude is confusing himself. Saxib, Faroole is but a scapegoat for you, he has no power but its Puntland state that accords him the power, he did not make up his own policies but its that of Puntland state of Somalia. Federalism is a wider Puntland policty and not Faroole's, he's nothing but an individual at the helm and has to adhere to the state policies during his time in office. Faroole bilaash ayaad magaciisa ugu wareertay, before him there was Yusuf Yey and Adde Muse, whom did exactly the same - living up to state policy, fedaralism. Anyone who comes after to the lead the state of Puntland will have to stick to the federalism, individuals change but state policies never. Markaa iska daa ninkaan magaciisa aad kuwareertay, ama iska wado howshaada waa sidaad jeceshahayee oo scapegoat-kaaga iska wado. Warku wuxuu kudhanyahay, Faroole isagu mabilaabin federalism hortiisa ayay jirtay markuu tagana way jiri doontaa.

^Lool @ Duke, you made him go back memorize his name and get it right this time

^One thing, waagi Ethiopia la isku duri jiray waa laga baxay, Sheikh Shariif visits Ethiopia more than any Somali leader and is as closer to Zenawi as Faroole is, that's a factual point halkaa nooguu xidh. Also as for you point regarding Puntland's importance and reducing it only to be based on the relative stability, its true that Puntland is stable and large size wise but that's not the reason as to why its important in Somali politics. Yunis, the south is unstable but we believe it's still an important part of Somalia and is relevant, so you must also understand Puntland is similar to that and not purely because of its stability.

^Well if I disprove that again your will go down the line of sub sub sub sub clan, its fruithless to go down that route and its pity to be narrow minded. My argument was the whole clan issue was the fuel of few men, whether it be the bigger clan or sub sub sub sub clan and even an alliance of rival clans or other ideological based alliances to prolong the Somali civil war. So my point was lets not be simplistic and not concentrate on the fuel, the clan or the sub sub sub foctor (or all other factors that varied) but the root cause.

Somalis and their wailing behavior, Faroole has done nothing wrong and this is in the interest of the region. If it had been SL. Galmudug or a different person people would have applauded but now its Faroole and Puntland they lament, 'haa kuwii Puntland ahaa dowlada ayee diidanyihiin, stop bickering. This is a positive thing.

^Lool, at the military bases on all corners of Hargeisa. Why have all these militias stationed in those areas, a dictatorial style tendencies and to make the people of Hargeisa cornered and intimidated. That's not how your preserve the peace, dadka xooga miyaa lagu hayaa, taasi wax matareeyso.

^Hence this is not about tribal or clan, the whole thing is madness, this madness can not be addressed by making a lamb some conclusion. My point was simple, federalism does not mean disunity, the naive amongst believe that, unity and federalism go hand in hand. As for the Somali conflict, whether its clan based or not is another debate, this needs scientific debate.

^Siilaanyo has blood on his hands sxb, stop being defensive about it. The people are not crazy or psychotic to attack the militia.The militia were there for a reason and the people attacked for a reason. Now a dozen people have died, Siilaanyo is ultimately responsible for this deaths as he tried to intimidate and silence the poor people with militia armed with armored vehicles - for god's sake Hargeisa like a war zone on Tuesday.

I think relationship with countries like India is very good for Puntland and Somalia in general. India has a lot to offer. So this is a positive development.

^No one is forcing to you read, also you must remember people have different opinion and view points. You must learn how to appreciate that and agree to disagree.

I wouldn't describe him as powerful but certainly has a say in whatever goes on in Somalia as the leader of Puntland state of Somalia. Puntland is too big and too influential for anything to fly or succeed without its blessing. Basically what I'm trying to say is, Puntland is important when it comes of Somalia.

Siilaanyo has caused more insecurity and death than any other Somaliland President in the region during his short time in office. Well, after that catastrophic war of the mid nineties of Tuur Vs Cigaal. The man has, as was always suspected, brought back his old SNM blood thirsty tendency.

^There is no clan problem or tribalism in Somalia, its in your mind, these were factors used and exploited by warlords to achieve their end gains. You must learn how to differentiate political opportunism and realm and huger of governance and a properly working system for the destitute and the long suffering Somalis. Those poor people have no clan, they were taken advantage of, no clan has got to any better life or made them special. The conflict in Somalia can hardly be described as clanish but foolish, people of the same clan have fought and killed each other and fought bitterly more than what you percieve as the rival clans. Look back and ponder the wars in the south, north west or north east even examine the little skirmishes of recent times.

Thanks to Almighty God. A change of life, demeanor and psyche of the Somali people is on the horizon. May Allah make this blessing prosperous and one which positively transforms the lives of our poor people. Amin

Unity is good, we are all for the union and Somalia needs to be united. One needs to understand that federalism does not mean disunity, in fact one can argue that, that the best form and the most effective unitary system is federalism, that's why America is federal and called United States of America. United we stand - that's our slogan.

Madaxweynaha Puntland Cabdiraxmaan Maxamed Faroole ayaa sheegay in dowladda KMG ahi ay ka dhega adaygtay in Puntland ay gudiyada Dastuurka ansixintiisa ka shaqeynaya wax ku yeelato. Madaxweynaha oo xiligan ku sugan dalka India ayaa waraysi uu siiyey laanta afka Soomaaliga ee Idaacadda BBC ku sheegay in Dastuurka ay DKG ahi ansixintiisa ku howlan tahay uu yahay mid aan dal Federaal ah lagu dhiqi karin. Dr. Faroole ayaa dhinaca kale sheegay in Puntland ay dadaal dheer ku bixisay sidii Soomaaliya ay kumeel gaarnimada uga bixi lahayd iyo weliba sidii roadmapka lagu dhamaystiri lahaa. Dowladda Fedraalka ah ayuu madaxweynuhu tilmaamay inay arintaas si aad ah uga caga jiideyso islamarkaana ay iska indha tirtay dadaalka Puntlland iyo kaalinta ay ku leedahay howlaha socda. Khilaafka soo kala dhex galay dowladda KMG ah ee Soomaaliya iyo Puntland oo u muuqda mid aan xooganayn ayaa badankiisu ah mid salka ku haya Dastuurka oo ay Puntland qodobo kamid ah sheki ka muujisay. Waxayna arintani kusoo beegmeysaa xilli in badan oo kamid ah Isimadii Puntland uga qayb gelayey shirka odayaasha dhaqanka ee magaalada Muqdisho ay dib Garoowe ugu soo laabteen.

Madaxwayne Faroole ayaa waxyaabii uu kahadlay waxaa kamid ahaa Arinta dastuurka qabyada ah ansixintiisa,Roadmapka iyo Xaalada Ani ee deeganada Maamulka Puntlad sida uu yahay. Intaa kadib Madaxwayne Faroole ayaa kahadlay qaadicidii Ergada Puntlad Shirka Odayaasha Dhaqanka ee lagu soo Xulayay Ergada Ansixinta Dastuurka taas oo ay Puntlad Ergadii kasocotay ay kugacansartay. Faroole oo inbadan kagaabsanaya kahadalka Arintaas ayaa yiri. ,,Arimaha Soomaaliya doorwayn ayaan kaqaadanay waxaan kaqaybgalnay Shirkii garoowe iyo kii Muqdisho waxaana intaas oo dhan usamaynay Sidii Dalka Nabad looga dhalinlahaa,Shirarkii aan qabanay ee looga hadlayay Arinta Soomaaliya waxbadan ayaan kaqabanay ka Puntlad ahaan lakiin qolyahaan TFG da ah ayaa wax walba isku qasaya ayuu yiri Madaxwayne Faroole. Waxaa kale uu yiri Madaxwayne Faroole anaga waxaan soo gudbinay waxyaabaha aan kudhaliilayno Dastuurka qabyada ah waana soo dirnay Ergadii Ansixinta Dastuurka lakiin dhibaatada waxaa ay katimid Dowlada KMG ah oo diidan Arintaas in laxaliyo. Sidoo kale Madaxwayne C/raxmaan Sheekh Maxamad Faroole ayaa kahadlay Sababta ay ugu gacan seereen Shirka Odayasha ee Muqdisho kasoconaya. ,,waaxaan aragnay Warqada uu kuqaranyahay Qodabada Dastuurka,wax kuyaalo oo laqaadankara ama la aqbali karana kumajiraan sidaas daraadeed waxaa go’aansanay inaan isaga soobaxno Muqdisho. Ugu dambayn Madaxwayne Faroole ayaa sheegay inaanay kuqanacsanayn Puntlad Sida ay wax usocdaan waxaana go,aansanay buu yiri inaan Beesha Caalamka lasocodsiino Arintaan Isla markaana laysugu tago Itoobiya laguna Xaliyo qodabada laysku mari la’yahay taas ayaynu u aragnaa buu yiri inuu Xalka Kujiro.

Che, what isku jiibin? Aside from taking jabs at Carafaat and Xx, my question is genuine this was the case for everyone and all Somalis everywhere, on the internet websites, on TVs and all fadhi-kudirirs.

^Loooooool But all along and before Faroole made his reservations, dadka waxaa kaguuxaayay Faroole iyo Puntland ayaa wadata dastuurka Abdi Walina iyaga ayuu matalaa uu rabaa sadbursi inuu sameeyo, marka waxaan waydiin lahaa sheekadaas maxaa kudhacay? Mase arintaa waxba kama jirinoo dadku way iska baqanayaan oo Puntland ayay shaki kaqabaan, labadaas mid inay iisheegaan
