Yey, Cadde, and the newly changed, diminished Puntland?

[xiinfaniin]

These are the highlights of Yey's trip:

 

Darwishes will be under Yey orders, and not under the command of Cadde.

Gaming for marine resources will be exclusively under Yey’s management.

Exploring natural resources are deemed too important a task to be left for Cadde, the rookie, and will be managed by Yey in the future.

 

You think Cadde lost in this deal? You are wrong. It’s win-win for both Cadde and the old man. The poor people of Puntland lost it big time. This is what they are promised to get for the next year and half:

 

1- more corruption and resource fleecing from Cadde and his admin

2- diminished political entity

3- and more miseries…

 

What is your take on how Yey secured Puntland to remain on his thump? What you do expect the poor souls who are squeezed between Yey’s political ambitions and Cadde’s sheer financial greed to do?

I think its a good deal. It cements Puntland's postion in Somalia. Thus reduces the risk for misunderstanding.

 

The TFG got what it wanted.

 

As for the bleak picture, indeed Puntland has many problems, corruption is its no 1 dilema.

How to address this is the responsability of those who live and view the state as their home.

 

This deal highlights that Puntland State is not a seperate entity from the TFG.
