18 Mar 18, 2010 - 5:35:22 AM

 

Traditional Elders and elites from different quarters have welcomed agreement signed between the government of Puntland state and representatives and elders from disputed the regions of Sool, Sanag and Ayn in the Puntland State House in Garowe, the administrative capital of Puntland.

 

Garaad Abdullahi Ali iid, a well-known elder in the regions told Garowe Radio that the signed agreement would pave the way for better cooperations between the government in Garowe and the people of the occupied regions.

 

 

“This agreement would improve the relation between elders and the government. Truly, it would be a big blow to the enemies of Puntland people and government,”

 

“I am advising Puntland government to settle every dispute through mediation,” he added.

 

The signing of the agreement was attended by Puntland Senior government officials led by the President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole,Vice President and some Cabinet Ministers.

 

Puntland Information Minister Abdihakim Ahmed Guled expressed his government’s gratitude and happiness of the signing of the agreement.

 

Garad Mohamud Mashqare who spoke for the elders termed the agreement as milestone and victory for the people of the occupied territories.

 

The agreement stated that ‘in accordance to the constitution of Puntland State of Somalia, the regions of Sool, Sanag and Ayn are territories of Puntland State of Somalia’ and it is the responsibility of Puntland government to return the occupied districts.

 

The Traditional elders have been urged to continue with the awareness campaign, conflict resolution, mobilizing and uniting the people, which were termed as vital for the returning of the occupied districts.

Faroole is expert bribing scc elders and others who works for him. But Local people so no, yesterday, it was buuhoodle and today Buurwadal. These garaads damaged their repetion for good.

[General Duke]

^^^lool@local people say no. You know this, better than the Garad's who represent these "local" people.

[Duufaan]

This case, they do not and you will see the days coming. They already signed the creation of khusuus and each one of them selected one candidate. Simply they cannot go against the khusuus they created. Not acceptable for the people of SSC.

[General Duke]

^^^Is the "khusuus" against the state of Puntland? I think the usual bunch are just wishing for division when there is none. Unifying the people of SSC in order to address the LA, problem and kick out the secessionist, does not equate to being anti Puntland.

 

However you can clarify your point if you must.

address the LA, problem and kick out the secessionist.

 

so when will pirateland do this this, current decade or the next one?

[General Duke]

^^^It matters not adeer, it will happen, just like it did last time remember. The desperate one is you, who has been seeking "recognition", we are are comfortable where we are..

[NASSIR]

Now GaroweOnline as usual discredits its image as a source of reliable news by borrowing from the "occupied regions" mantra, and then quote a default Gerad who is actually the spokesperson of PL affairs and interests.

 

It is a counter-productive race with SL, which is in fact a weak entity if we underestimate the advances it made into the region of Sool with the help of personnel and troops it hired from the same region.

 

Individuals or sites should be cautious not to anger the folks of Sanaag, for they don't consider their territory as "occupied". This is far from the truth and it does add an insult into the mix. It reminds me of ALLPUNTLAND editors' attempt to re-demarcate the town of Galgala as part of Sanaag region when in fact it is located on western Bari region and so comes under the Bosaaso Administrative District.

[General Duke]

^^^That does not mean anything, whats important is the unity of these regions, in this difficult time in our history.
