Sulleiman The Great Posted May 29, 2012 I was reading some news of one of the cultural elders of Puntland attending the Istanbul conference on Somali reading some of the comments people had about the story, I wonder if this was actually a fracture within Pl or was this a new strategy where PL can have one stance on a subject (in this case the Istanbul conference) while having their interest being litigated by cultural elders (an agent inside). We saw this once when some elders left Mogadishu representing the interest of Pl while others went there also seemingly representing the interest of PL. Whats your opinion on this.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted May 29, 2012 The north galkacyo clan elder Islaan bashiir went to Turkey , but i am sure when he arrives back in Puntland Faroole will have a word with him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe its not only islan bashir that attended the meeting the acting king of the people of Puntland (Boqor Burhan , Boqor Muse) also attended the meeting, I however do not believe this is a division between the admins and the traditional elders , I believe PL is both flexing its muscle as a regional power by not attending, and at the same time making sure their interest are being represented.

I dont see PL as something to oppose it a beacon of hope for the rest of Somalia , I also understand that it is not immune to political tribulations, so I am trying to figure out if this move by PL is a political move or if its cracks appearing.
