Puntland War on Terror

I am not here to defend Deni nor do I believe giving leaders a blank check albeit Somali ones. But that does not mean anyone whether a supporter or opposition cannot be scrutinized and their statements and stances questioned.

Then, we are all speaking of the same thing, and are of the same mind, perhaps viewing matters from a different angle.

By the way I am not questioning Makhir's Puntland credentials though I am always perplexed the halfhearted commitment and loyalty demonstrated by some from Sanaag community who entertain themselves ever elusive glorious regional state called "Makhir". If you are part of something you commit to it and throw all your weight behind that cause. Rather all I ever see is moaning from sidelines and acting if you are just honored guests.

Not all of us are die-hard loyalists, and could pick and choose. I do not subscribe to any political ideology, and do not support any political leader. Some of us are naturally wired that way.  Besides, why value and care more about disgruntled few on Social Media than the majority who are fully behind and supportive of the State? Or are you just another extremist "Puntland First" proponent, with far-right ideologies who believes in "you are either with us, or with Daacish" ? In which case, you are no different from the ones you are complaining about.

Didn't Ilka Jiir nearly win Puntland presidency and lost by small margin? Why then cause confusion and seek division with non existent entity that never materialise? Sanaag traditional leaders signed the Puntland creation as all the other tradional elders from Mudug, Bar, Nugal and SSC and I think it is about time they take their position as fully fledged part of the union and leadership.

Bloody hell, listen to yourself, you sound more like a typical demented secessionist.

Waxaagu wishy washy waaye iyo halagaa sheego. Markii aan uhadlo waqooyi koonfur baa hersaysaa. I am adddressing real problems that exist and putting forward solutions, you don't to have to agree with me but you need to debate with respect young man.

 Mida kale if you are not loyal to Puntland cause, then what is the whole point of Puntland, we might as well embrace centralism. I would 100% favour complete centralsim than chaotic tribal fiefdom whereby every small clan is waving some discoloured flag. It is not only Sanaag, it is happening in Raadcasayr and Goldogob a mere town with less than 30k population.

Heaviest fighting yet, casualties on both sides, more so on the Daacish side.

With this huge support from the Puntland public, victory will be achieved. 

Dadku markay isku tashtaan guushu way dhwdahay.

I think the Daacish numbers could be  close to a thousand. It seems these mercenaries are relocated from all over the world. I know the Puntland commanders know better than all of us, but they must expect suicidal actions and daring unexpected raids. They might move behnd the army lines in the middle of the night, or  attack you three in the morning. If these foreign nations like the UAE want to help, they must provide drone survileince 24 hours to detect the movements.

Having seen the pictures of these caves which are more ragged than the Torabora of Afgahnistan, I would take my time and isolate them. Sooner or later they will run out of food and supply. When I put on my conspiracy hat, I would not trust UAE or the America who are known to move Daacish from Syria to Afgahistan and now probably to Somalia. Deni must talk to the Tuekish military for drone help.

In their latest desperate, suicide attack, and most likely one of their last, ISIS used motorbikes armed with high powered guns and modified trucks loaded with explosives. A few of the attacking force escaped. 

The Islamic State has regrouped in Somalia — and has global ambitions

The Islamic State has also become a more sophisticated fighting force, employing suicide drones, long-distance snipers and bombs.

Puntland soldiers and logistics convoys have targeted dozens of times by drones, a tactic commonly used by militants in Syria and Iraq but new to Somalia.

Footage from captured drones shared with The Post showed that some were equipped with thermal imaging cameras, allowing for nighttime attacks. One model was identified by risk management company Vates Somalia as retailing for upward of $9,000.

The Post obtained footage captured by Puntland Defense Forces showing a drone. Drones have been targeting Puntland soldiers, a new tactic in Somalia.

The expensive drones can carry and release up to four separate munitions. Cheaper self-detonating versions explode into trucks, water tankers or crowds of troops. Injured soldier Abdiqani Muse Warsame, recovering in the hospital after a recent attack, said drones had repeatedly attacked his unit at night.

“We just have our naked eyes and our guns to shoot them,” he said.

Foreign fighters
Puntland’s prisons have more than a dozen men who maintain they were tricked into joining the Islamic State. Some of their claims — like that of a Yemeni man caught during a failed attempt to blow up a police checkpoint in the port city of Bosaso a couple of nights before — didn’t add up.

Also in custody are six Moroccans, who say they were recruited in 2023 from the city of Fes. They described an elaborate journey: driving overland through multiple countries, flying to Addis Ababa and sneaking across the Ethiopian border with Somalia. They traveled through the mountains for days, they said, often in the company of other foreigners, including men from Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Sudan and Ethiopia.

“We trained with Kalashnikovs, in a group of around 30 people — Algerians, Moroccans, Tunisians, Somalis and two Palestinians,” said one of the Moroccans. Like other prisoners, he spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
