Separatists S/Pland time bombs ticking to go off!!

Well u can guess what african dictators do, fup everything.

 

sland is frozen in election mode, only thing that can cool it is a snow storm... which u know well is next to impossible to happen there. Only choice, bring out the guns. Civil servants have not got paid in some months and inflation is heating the roof. Economy has been on downward spiral for yrs now.

 

pland is going through political clan upheavals where clans are wagging wars against each other. Journalist and clan leaders are jailed daily. People unrest is happening daily. The govt there is so weak, today, the govt called its navy soldiers to release a ship that was fishing there legally, but the captain in charge ignored orders and held the ship hostage.

 

if these leaders take charge and open political dialogues and understand politics, this probably could be avoided. However, it looks like that they have no clue. Their just same ole warlords in different costumes.

 

Long live all somaliweeyn as one country Inshallah. Amin.

Hello..is anybody home! check this crazy story... how do u know if an african state is in trouble? well journalist get horded up in jails. same thing tfg did that got them smoked out. here is the story..

 

Four journalists who traveled to Somalia's separatist republic of Somaliland for a media seminar have been detained by local police, Radio Garowe reports.

The four journalists traveled by air to Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, after leaving their homes in Garowe and Galkayo, two cities in the self-governing Somali region of Puntland.

The journalists were detained at Hargeisa's Egal International Airport on Wednesday, where they were questioned by police.

Somaliland authorities said the journalists' arrival was not approved by the Ministry of Information, although the journalists argued that they were invited to Hargeisa to attend a seminar hosted by CARE International.

The detained journalists spent Wednesday night at a room in the airport. Radio Garowe's corresponded in Hargeisa, Mr. Mohamed Jamal, visited the journalists at the airport where they informed him that they were treated fairly well.

No comments have emerged from CARE International or the Somaliland government regarding this case.

Your Harmagedon whishful scenario of Puntland is futile.

Puntland is a state that cares of it business, if the rest of somalia (not including somaliland) had the same mentality as puntland then for sure Somalia would have been a model state in Africa. I'm not saying Puntland is flawless, it defenitly has some barriers to overcome, but considering it's youth and accomplishments without relying on the global monetary system and external investment, it sure has made great advancement. Remember the place was a barren desert just a decade ago unlike Southern somalia and Somaliland, and today no other region in somalia is above it in terms of economic activity..

 

No people starve, no population displacement, no major conflicts (riots with two deaths are the greatest news of violence) presence of a plethora of education institutions, peacefull elections, central governed police force and public officials, peacefull religious clerics, booming cities despite the limit of international finance and loans.

 

You see Puntland is just to great to become a victim of patronizing. Imagine if Puntland was a sovereign state of it's own with acces to the international capital market? Whoa, just the the thought makes me to excited, so i will drop it and return to reality.
