DoctorKenney Posted February 25, 2014 XX, actually Puntland cut all ties with the corrupt government in the South, not the other way around. Now remember that Puntland actually has some leverage over the Federal Government, and they are actually capable of protecting more than 2 blocks of territory without the aid of AMISOM forces. So who looks like a bigger fool here, Qoslaaye and his gang of thugs or the Puntland Administration? You don't need to answer that question Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted February 25, 2014 They cut ties with the government of Somalia when the SFG ignored them altogether they lose the most the SFG dont need Garowe, aslong as the embassies are in Mogadishu the international community will bankroll the SFG despite its corruption bad governance and all of that. Garowe loses the most. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CidanSultan Posted February 25, 2014 no one in the international community cares about puntland. Unlike Somaliland and Somalia the world although not granting recognition always seperates the two entities and makes it clear they need to agree on something. Aid is seperate, relations are seperate even America has the dual track approach similir to Europe i.e. the Special status of Somaliland. But the pirates created their own jail in a desert wasteland with only 2.5 regions. Mugdisho no longer wants them politically and i dont see a time when they can actually return to mugdisho but as only second class citizens. Abdi cawar for that reason made peace with mugdisho government but still no real incentive. from a government fighting for its own survival. Difficult situation indeed.
