Mintid Farayar Posted March 20, 2013 No amount of smoke screens can cover the overwhelming image problem. It's made opposing Hassan Sheikh's maneuvers difficult for some. Hence the new found interest in opening a political front on the Jubba side..... As for it being a one off article, would you like more?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted March 20, 2013 Mintid....You chose the wrong issue to pick a fight with Xiin. Being from Somalia, I don't think anyone is worried about image problem or world even cares! I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted March 20, 2013 Mintid, yes we like more articles about Puntland. Unlike your enclave, Puntland as a region is very secure with its relations with the world. No ammount of hired pens can change the leverage that comes with being located at a geopolitical crossroad where 30% of crude oil passes through, and 15% world trade shipments passes as well. Manage your time, brother. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted March 20, 2013 This may shed light on PL's stand on piracy issue. The world knows it and supports PL on this. But some in SOL maybe disappointed watching this video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted March 20, 2013 Gheelle, have some mercy please. Mintid is on a mission to educate the world about Puntand's piracy problems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mintid Farayar Posted March 20, 2013 Not correct, my dear Xiin. The world already knows as Che pointed out. I'm educating some deluded pirates... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mintid Farayar Posted March 20, 2013 That money train was shut down as well... Read below _________________________________________________________ REAL TIME PIRACY WARNINGS Piracy REPORT:Piracy EXCLUSIVE Puntland Marine Force In Disarray UAE and Bancroft Meetings in Bosaso Lead to Confusion And Distrust About Future By ROBERT YOUNG PELTON 10/31/2012 © Somalia Report, All Rights Reserved PMPF Training Base in Bosaso On the day before Eid, a delegation from the United Arab Emirates and security contractor Bancroft Global completed their third meeting on the future of the land-based anti-piracy force called the Puntland Marine Police Force. Although any visit by the UAE would normally be considered a VIP event in Puntland, attendees describe the meeting as tense. The son of President Mohamad Farole even went as far as to show his position by refusing to meet the delegation at the airport. The Private War Against Pirates The main topic of the meeting was cash. Under the approval of Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan the UAE initially funded the program using a zakat or islamic charity fund that hid the actual monetary donations into the fund. The goal of the maritime trading nation was altruistic and simple; to help Puntland develop a security force to defeat piracy and bring stability to its shores. Despite the deep pockets of the Nahyan family, problems with the flow of money began about half way through the project and peaked five months ago. The "secret" project was once again in the media and was also featured in the latest UN SEMG report as a private army set up to fight pirates and accountable to no one. Although the PMPF did not deploy until spring of 2012, the unnamed authors of the SEMG report editorialized on the goals of the PMPF and Puntland as being negative. The inference was that instead of the PMPF bringing security it would bring insecurity. ........ http://somaliareport.com/index.php/post/3597/Puntland_Marine_Force_In_Disarray_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted March 20, 2013 Xiin, this dude is clutching at straws. No wonder why he's digging on old article full of hearsay. Let him vent, I say! Che, watch that video and see at the end the foreign diplomats congratulating Farole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted March 20, 2013 ^^I wonder how would Mintid react to the news article talking of Faroole using helicopters against Gara'ad pirates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
