I am not sure if that is the whole story. UAE with their own divisive agenda have helped Puntland with a lot. I believe if it was not their help Daaish would have overrun Bosaso by now. They also pay PMPF's salaries as well as many recently trained police. What needs to happen is to Somali leaders stop being nutters and work on Somali solution promoted by Somali agenda alone. Prostituting ourselves to Emirates or Saudis would only complicate the division and pronlong the civil war. HSM now thinks Saudis can come to his rescue and stay in power when all he has shown was complete incomptence. We are where we are because of him. Why change the constitution the only thing Somalis agreed on? Why seek division when the country has not yet recovered from long civil war?

Haddee mar hore soo kici lahaayeen saan ma ahaan lahayn dalalka Muslimiinta, siiba kuwa dariskooda. Marka dariskooda laga bilaabay soo baruurugeen iyagoo anfariir ah. Xataa hadda Orangecon ku dhaheen Iiraan ha fara gishan. Asagana maanta qirtay. Orangecon respects their $$$. I hope Reer Waqooyi Bari Soomaaliya ka faa'ideystay Sacuudiyaankaan and gave them a base in Laasqoray. It is a win-win-win situation, Soomaaliyana u faa'ida ah, Reer Sanaag u faa'ido ah iyo Sacuudigana naftirkooda u ah.

Indeed! Heavy cargo planes are flying out Bosaso and Mogadishu.

Saudi, Turkey, Egypt and Qatar have finally accepted UAE and Israel would not balkanizing Muslim countries and choking the Redsea.

Beard-holder family, I understand advocating for Somaliland recognition, but publicly waving the Israeli flag and elevating Netanyahu with a booty shake in the streets, is a step too far and pretty crazy even in Somali standards. Let us read the room my brothers.

These troops are not from any country that committed an ongoing brutal ethnic cleansing genocide against Muslims the whole world witnessed and have been protesting in the past two years and three months. Also 'Christian' troops do not separate the country of Soomaaliya and are there at the invitation of Soomaali government, who can ask them to leave tomorrow, unlike the genocidal entity you are welcoming.

Oil will one day run out maybe few more decades they are securing for their future generations I suppose in Sudan it’s gold I think in Yemen it’s more about influence

LOL Xaaji Waraabe waa reer Ben Haashim, he can't switch to reer Ben Israel now.

This is a tragedy. This is a total betrayal of our God, faith, values, dignity, national interest, and brethren in Islam. I am sure if we had spent half the energy we had spent on seeking recognition trying to make the former Republic work for all of us, today we would be in a much better place. May Almighty Allah save us from His anger and punishment.
