Puntlander never loses an argument to a Somalilander.They always have a come back of some sort to defend their tribe. Same goes for all somalis from all sort of tribes. I wish they had the same spirit for Somaliweyn and telling the truth no matter what. Standing up for what is right even it goes against their cousins. I wish one day we will change, may be 3 generations down the road.

^^The Jubbaland State should have been murdered by your 'UN Resolution'

 

Per that logic (the UN is against it), there is nothing to discuss, or is there ?

A poor attempt to muddy the waters. The Security Council Resolution gave Hassan Sheikh leverage over future charcoal exports(an important revenue source for the Jubbas). That was the argument as much as you try otherwise. The thread is there for all to see

Fresh2Death, I agree with you, there's absolutely nothing worse than coming back with logic. :eek:

So why don't we just break up into many tiny tribe based countries? And the stronger eats the weak.

It's the satellite image, in particular, that puts 'paid' to the argument

Man, those were a few good years for our pirate brothers. What's the next scheme??

Meanwhile, according the 'Garowe-published' Dr. Weinstein:

 

 

The underlying dynamics of the "donor"-power tilt toward the S.F.G. has been to inflate the S.F.G. without having given it the power to back that up, and to deflate Puntland. This new balance creates an unstable situation in which the S.F.G. would be tempted to cross what, for Puntland, would be a red line. The two are already competing through proxies in the south. The point of an overt split and open hostility between the two has not yet been reached.

 

Meanwhile, the more the opposition to the S.F.G. takes on a clan-conflict cast, the more difficult it will be to resolve disputes, such as bringing Puntland and the S.F.G. into accord.

 

A third source, on the ground in south-central Somalia, says that the "donor"-powers prefer to deal with a small close group of Somali officials, if for nothing else than convenience and expediency. If that is the case, then one can understand why they do not take the power positions of Somali actors into their calculations, particularly the consequences of a redistribution of power.

You made an assertion here. Defend it or be on your way.

Che, you seem to disagree with my assertion on why the VOA would dedicate a report on the issue. Then atleast explain what other reasons or motivates the VOA would have to report on the issue ?
