Mr. Somalia Posted November 12, 2009 Originally posted by ThankfulSP: If President Faroole does not return to Puntland by the weekend, I will question how effective a leader his is.

President Faroole cannot mount an effective response while he is in another country and people need to hear him on the radio and internet reassuring them that the government will take appropriate measures. I don't know what's going on with the government but they need to wake up. Dude, get a grip will yah! Faroole this. Faroole that. Quit your whining alright! Have you forgotten that Puntland is no Switzerland and is still part and parcel of a country called Somalia, which happens to be one of the unsafest states around the world. War ninyahow fulaynimada intaas l'eg iska daa. Faroole dadkii dintau naf kuma soo celin karee.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waa sida anoo meel aan shaah ka cabbayo aanse layga aqoon, Xiingalool wax looga sheegey. Goor aan aargalaankii aan shaaha ku cabbayey hilgaadey xittaa lama oga. Waxaa la arkey nin dafoorada uu dhiig ka da'ayo unbaan, oo markaad weeydiiyey ninka waxa dakhreyna, anigaa farta laygu soo wada godey. Marka Hunguri, inaad Qardho ugu sarreeysiiso liistiga, inkastood Dhahar-ba ku dartey, waa laga quruxsanaa. Niman aan reer Puntland ahayn ayaa lagu ogaa ineey Qardho af xun wax uga sheegaan. Bal hadda ninkaa SS-ah inaga raalli geli, inadeeroow, yaanan godob naloo qabsane. Sayidka, adeer xaal qaado oo dee waxa dhacay waa un 'friendly fire' keliya ee, bal adna sidaa ula soco. Hunguri waa nin aanan afkiisu cabsi aqoon oo runtuu iska sheegaa, inkastoo runta in la taatikeeyo loo baahan yahay mararka qaarkood. Marka aan Oodweyne is hayno ayuu Hunguri dhankiisa rasaasta ka darandoorriyaa. Cafis hadaba nimanyahow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thankful Posted November 12, 2009 Mr. Somalia. You are taking it too personally bro. There is no whining and I have no clue why you are so uncivilized on this site! Anyways, President Faroole knows very well the power of the media and has a website Garoweonline that promoted his campaign and now his presidency(which doesn't get updated much). Which really makes me curious as to why, someone who runs websites, purposely refuses to use the Puntland Government website. It just doesn't make sense. I heard there is a new one coming out and that it was being tested, but almost a year in and the website has been barely touched. I am not sure what the government motives are. Even though Puntland is part of Somalia, killings of government official never ever happened. We have now seen 4 in less then a year. You'd expect this type of attacks during the ICU days when President Abdullahi Yusuf was in office in Mogadishu and Puntland was the TFG's life line. (sometimes I think, maybe it's President Faroole lack of Military experience that is resulting in these bold attacks.) Regardless, President Faroole must return soon.

Mintid Farayar Posted November 12, 2009 Gentlemen, Instead of acting in the usual knee-jerk manner filled with impotent emotion, think on this: Since its formation, the only direct bilateral aid from the West that the Puntland administration has received (not assistance routed through NGO's but direct bilateral aid) has been Security Assistance, specifically the formation and financing to this day of the well-known PIS. That's the only card that seems to have worked for Puntland thus far. And remember how that came about specifically - when Abdullahi Yusuf loudly proclaimed international extremists had made bases within the coastal fishing villages of Puntland! The current situation bears striking similarities to that previous episode. If it got Puntland its only direct Western budgetary assistance in the past, why not repeat the ploy again when all else has failed thus far.... Faroole can add the dots much faster than poor Mintidh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More gibberish about Garoweonline. Stay focused please. This has got nothing to do with your obsession with this particular fadhikudirir site. Faroole is no webmaster, so stop associating him to this private site! Even though Puntland is part of Somalia, killings of government official never ever happened. We have now seen 4 in less then a year. You'd expect this type of attacks during the ICU days when President Abdullahi Yusuf was in office in Mogadishu and Puntland was the TFG's life line. (sometimes I think, maybe it's President Faroole lack of Military experience that is resulting in these bold attacks.) Saaxiib, people always die. They've died in the past. They die today, and most certainly they will die tomorrow. So please-- do not make Faroole out to be some sort of death stopper. Sure, he should be held accountable for the failures of the security forces, but that is, if indeed they do fail to bring the culprits in front of the law. But in the meantime, lets NOT get carried away with fear. That's all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thankful Posted November 12, 2009 Garoweonline It is very unfortunate that CPJ was misled or is intentionally misleading the world when it simply describes Mr. Mohamed Abdirahman, an Australian citizen, only as "the son of Puntland's president." This is a fact and only God can change it. But what about the other fact: that Mr. Mohamed is the founder and executive director of Radio Garowe, an independent radio station in Puntland? Further, Mr. Mohamed remains the editor-in-chief of GaroweOnline.com, one of Somalia's most well-known news portals. As such, Mr. Mohamed has been a well-known name on the Somali media scene years before his father, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed "Farole," was elected the president of Puntland only six months ago. Mr. Somalia lets think about this, we have a President who son is a chief editor of a website, a site that was by far the most critcal of past admin, but not of this one and who has used this to help promote himself(which he has a right to), but then the Puntland Government website is not touch at all? Is that make sense to you? That a leadership that used the internet as a source of media, doesn't use the government website for almost a year? Why? These killings you are talking about, don't occur in Puntland, Government officials have not been killed Alhamdulilah. We have 4 know in less then a year. At this rate, do you have any clue what the future loosk like? There is a crisis right now in Puntland. At you say don't get carried away with fear? Arresting the culprits is extrememly difficult. As they can run to NW Somalia, or the South. It is hard enough for the most develop nations to capture people, it's understandable that it will be difficult for Puntland. However, The President needs to get back immediately and organize a strategy that includes everyone one that can help, elders, government officals, business people etc. Nothing is more important then security and until the President Faroole arrives, I am not seeing it taking serious. I have not confirmed this, but has atleast Ilko-Jiir returned? If not does that seem normal? Dismissing the problem like it is just a normal Somali occurence won't prevent future crimes.

xiinfaniin Posted November 12, 2009 ^^Awoowe one knew that you always saw Puntland as the one that obstructed your much-desired entry in to the league of nation states. But what one never predicted is that you would resort to such a feeble conspiratorial nonsense to paint a gloomy picture of Puntland’s imagined disintegration.

xiinfaniin Posted November 12, 2009 ^^^^you are probably right in the sense that victors get the luxury to write history as they wish, but what about if the defeated think of himself as the victor and begun talking in a churchillian tone? So mushkila maaha, when a man from Oodweyne describe the folks in the East as a lowborn folks who dwell on the footnotes of Somalia's long history Since poetry is the only historical archive somalia has, what say you about Khalif’s diction of his version of Somali history, and the eastern favor as he put it your folks were bestowed upon to lure them in the wining political coalition of 1960’s that resulted in the elevation of Egal to premiership.
