Election boxes were delivered today, and you are talking about war and fighting. How desperate could you be boowe?

'Puntland has collapsed' , Oba hilowle reported. 'I told you so', Mintid says Such are the nature of the fickle ones in our midst

Fighting intensifies in Oba's head

^^Sure But cut me some slack as a creator of this post to shoo away the hecklers from the North

^^Illyria,you know, unlike these separatist brothers, that there is no constitutional or security argument against Jubbaland process. The world has spent quite a bit of resources and political capital to drive alshabaab from these regions and is supporting the progress that has been made toward establishing a federal state to maintain peace and security. Think of Oodweyne and Mintid's hyper analysis on Kismayo as a vent for separatist's political frustration with certain 'folks' in Somalia.

^^Yeah. Kenya is the latest victim of separatist never ending grieve laden protest Repeat 'borrowed muscle' and what not as if it will change anything on the ground in Kismayo

Lets hope that rumor turns out not to be true. It is the political agenda of the president that is challenged internally , not his cabinet. It would be naive for him to think a cabinet reshuffle will resolve outstanding political issues without him reaching a compromise

^^ :D You see Oodweyne, at the beginning of this Kismayo gathering I have witnessed separatists like you and anarchists in Yalahow variety betting certain Gedo community will disband this thing. And when it become apparent no such thing was about to occur, again separatists like you and anarchists predicted that the PM will nullify the whole gathering. And when that did not happen, and the gathering got stronger and bolder , yo guys began becoming desperate about this thing ,even resorting to a UN security resolutions as a new tool to kill the Jubbaland state. That too was proved to be incorrect, a mere wishful thinking. Now after all else fail, you invented an epic struggle between international community supporting the government on a one hand, and Kenya and Jubbaland organizers on the hand, facing off . . So what does that pattern indicate? It indicates a bunch of hecklers who are clue less as to what they are protesting against...and cannot articulate why things are moving and progressing as they are if indeed this Jubbaland initiative lacks local and international support. Today is a great day, and tomorrow will be even greater for Somalia. Insha allah. Ask me as to why Hassan Sheekh and this government is so vigorously opposed to the Jubbaland initiative and we shall school you the real politicking (all internal) that are shaping up in Somalia. But please admit your limitation in understanding current retail politics unfolding the country ...lest you embarrass yourself and resort to UN resolutions, London Communique and what have you ...

^^The idea is distant shouts of disapproval is a least concern for those who have spent countless efforts to contribute to the stability of the most important area in the South through reconciliation, compromise, and bottom up approach to federal state formation. And that is what you see in Kismayo ...instead of congratulating to the trans-formative leadership at play in the region, you join the hecklers and the reactionaries in the caliber of Odey Xaad and Ahmed Diiriye But it is your choice , not ours. What we are doing is to inform you and the larger gallery about this historic event.

^^Oodweyne, this thread is to update you and those interested in Jubbaland state formation process at Kismayo. You should thank me and others for providing updates on this great gathering. Now whether you think this is a sham does not matter awoowe. So stay tuned.

^^Arrintu weli ma dhammaan awoowe. Sidii qolodiinna waqooyi 'way duushay' strategy uma aha dadka ka shaqeynaya Jubbaland

I cannot help but lough at the false , epic struggle between "the international forces allied on the Federal Gov't " & other forces "supporting the Jubba initiative" . This is so out of touch

^^He was not sighted in Hargeysa. Rumor has it that Siilaanyo finally soiled his hands by conducting DNA samples from Godane relatives in Hargeysa . Amriiki dead , mindhaa saacaddi baa u timid but he was not significant in this fight. Godane and his close Somali advisers are

Latest update on Kismayo: IGAD committee arrived , 'ergo' disputes has been resolved, & election boxes are delivered. http://www.puntlandpost.com/khilaafka-ergooyinkii-jubbooyinka-oo-soo-dhamaaday-iyo-doorasho-madaxweyne-oo-dhacaysa-dhowaan-warbixin/

^^ @ Suldaan I actually liked it. It is the continuation of the talks which I supported. You need to brace yourself young man, this may not turn out to be what you bargained for

^^I think you are reading too much into it. Like many commented nothing in this communique can be deduced by any impartial to be objecting to what is taking place in Kismayo . But you are entitled to your opinion, saaxiib.

I have been long sold to this woman and her courage to make a difference where it matters the most. She may be too idealistic but she surely means good.

Will have to wait to see how Hasan handles the Jubaland leadership once it has been annonuced in a few days. And more importantly, how the institution and capacity building initiatives take off. Right on. To deduce from this communique that IC endorsed Hassan to reverse a two year reconciliation effort at Kismayo because of untested political plan of his is just not correct. EDIT: the IC would interfere in favor of Hassan if it were apparent that a Jubbaland federal state will undermine the president and overall national reconciliation effort ...

I think so but do not say that to our separatist brothers in the north lest they throw the Qatars out of Hargeysa

Anyone has Uhuru Kenyatta's speech? I am particularly interested to see how he handled his first trip to overseas as the second sitting president under indictment...

^^LOL you sure see xiinfaniin everywhere even in London We are here in Minneapolis...we do not find the protest necessary but at the same token we do not mock people for exercising their rights.

Saalax as always chooses his posts But you being the separatists you are should not be mocking a protest in London by Somalis voicing their displeasure with a Somali leader's political agenda

^^Considering the level of involvement from IC in guiding these elections, I think Faroole will continue to listen. After all the IC is providing the funds for implementing the democratization process in Puntland.

Is it significant that US Secretary of State John Kerry did not attend the Conference ? Remember Mrs. Clinton attended London Conference 1

^^Oodweyne , wishes to believe that Jubbaland designers are out of sync with the constitution
