Puntland's power is uniting, secessionists, ONLF, Al Shabab Looters

General Duke,

I agree with the secessionist's failed strategy that is a primitive political orientation that the modern free world shun in its entirety, but the other two camps you identified are also different in outlook and objectives. The South is still the tragic replay of decades of warlordism and brutish life under an anarchic situation where only the strongest is free to kill, rape and loot to be followed by those who advance extremism for narrow political agenda.

However, the struggle of the occupied Somali region comes from the universal belief that an alien rule creates deep resentment within an ethnic group. To free a society from the harsh rule of those with strange language, religion and culture, they have an alienable natural right to liberate their land and select the form of government they choose to be part of. The leadership could have settled with the now defunct WSLF and its appeal of nationalism, besides it is a name that is laudable and recognizable in the history books if a sympathetic IGO or a de jure sovereign state wishes to extend its moral and financial support to the struggle.

So I think the name issue is solvable and we can also subscribe to the fact that the support of a majority group in one political Territory matters in all the criterias of decision making since they can supply the manpower to defend the nation, for instance a notion expressed in Rausseau's philosophy of civil disobedience.

So Puntland seem to advance the best model of governance for Somalia. And the issue of piracy has been quite dealt with by the Admin so effective that the pirates are forced to shift their operation in South-Central Somalia and beyond.

With the repeated provocation of the secessionists in beating up the drums of war, PL has quite been a voice for sanity and reason.

Only corruption and clannism might impede its model, and such inevitable social and political issue can be dealt with by strong institutions led by qualified and experienced leaders.
