Puntland falters but still strong in its isolation

[Garyaqaan2]

Frist let me start with Congaratuating Mudane C/raxman Faroole. this was historic election good luck with mr faroole.

Mr faroole in fact had the most realistic speech of all men contested and he highlighted his involvement and participation in various somali political circles in the past. Definitely this is not a newbie who is going to learn the game while the state is in critical situation but rather in day one he will be in action. As also as advised by yey he will have to make use of the raw talents possessed by some of the candidates like Ilka jiir and Nuradin etc. I personally have to say everyone wanted a different outcome but this one is not a one we will terribly regret either and i am not sadden at all.

 

I liked his overall emphasis that we will negotiate with the Southerns or anyone else and will only accept if their proposals are beneficial to the people of the state puntland or else dismiss them.

Baashiyow , your argument that politics is dirty and tricky smacks one of wisdom. (Third world ?)Politics is but the science of government, and what underpins the functions of any political structure is that which shuns irrgularities, incompetence, corruption and other dirty tricks that clog the process of of good governance.

 

In fact we won't have been in this disaster were it not for the widespread misconception of politics. To the average Somali, integrity, good public reputation , experience and knowledge take a back a seat but what wins an office to them is who is more infamous in the art of fascism or how to steal, rob or kill.

 

But his lacking of the above-stated reasons is actually part of his "upsetting loss". The main reason is the unfair composition of the parliament as Fahiye said.

 

Sorry to spill this, Somalis confuse National Interest(from realist/neorealist standpoint) with domestic politics and good governance.

 

 

Xiin, Wayfarer and Masciid(S-Warrior), points well-taken. Busy with work.

 

Nuune, adeer your comment makes no sense. Come again!
