  1. That is the whole point. Let me take you back to the 90s. Do you recall bottom-up building block approach to nation building to which you had all been opposed then, yet are all enamoured with now. If so, in hindsight, proponents of the Federalist model rushed in overestimating dangers of anti-governance forces by sidestepping its predecessor model: Confederacy, intended to give way to Federalism, but unfortunately, the Federalist model has been hijacked, and the best way to rescue it is to return it back to its predecessor. I would suggest you consult Articles of Confederacy, and its its successor models. Postscript: To better understand, just imagine had Xasan, or Farmajo, or any other leader at the Federal level, had enough army and power to destabilise JL, as both attempted re: Ras Kamboni, Bu'aale, and Garbahaarey. The same applies to other FMSs. How does that differ from Siyad Barre? If he had enough power, he would have shut down Hargeysa and Garowe air space, as he has done in Kismayo. Do you still think this is a working model? You people are not serious thinkers.
  2. We plan to bring back the Maakhir Sultanate, and are open to making concessions to the neighbours. Sanaag comprises 5 districts: a) Ceerigaabo, a shared city, b) H@rti reside in 3 districts: i) Laas Qoray, ii) Dhahar, and iii) Badhan, c) HY/HJ in one (Ceel Afweyn). H@rti resides in Xingalool, Buraan, Hadaaftimo, Yube, Ceelaayo, and nearly 40+ othe villeges in Sanaag namely Daara salaam, Maraje, Cawsane, Mindigale, Ceel buux, Ballibusle, Baraagaha qol, Damala xagar, Dhabar dalool , Biyo gudood, Shimbiraale, Carmale, Wardheer, Tooraboora, Cadcado, Durduri, Gacan, Xabaal shaawacle, Ceel la helay, Beeraara, Xidid, Xamur, Ceel La Qoday, Gebi dheer, HarWeyn iyo Qoraxjiif. There are a handful other villeges H@rti resides. Further, H@rti resides from Ceerigaabo to Bosaso, which streches 300+ km, another 300 +/- km to Nugaal, and another 280+ km to Sool. Is@q resides in Dayacan, a neighbourhood in Ceerigaabo, villeges in Ceel Afweyn district all the way to the border of Togdheer region. Yet, you still have the gall to claim it? Now, could either of you tell me what the names Sanaag & Ceerigaabo mean?
  3. Dr Darmaan meets with the locals, and outlines his vision. https://twitter.com/puntlandpost/status/1874474182538625246
  4. Aaaah I see Urur Samaale coming out of the woodwork singing from the same hymn. If you can not contribute intellectually, as I know neither of you could, do yourselves a favour not to make complete arse of yourselves, and just stay away, as this is a discussion for the intellectually curious mature souls. This discussion requires erudite minds, so shuuush. As the old hawk opined: "Ninkii dabinka meegaartay ee geri malaynaayey, sagaaradii majaha sudhatay baad maandhow ii tahaye"
  5. The case against secession has been debated to death, perhaps you want to revisit those threads. I am pragmatic, and not suicidal, nor am I brain-dead. Secession has never been considered, and is not an option. This is the natural progression: Confederacy (interdependency): current state => Dual Federalism (intradepedency): possibly in 20 years if not more => Cooperative Federalism (Cohesive with greater cooperation): in years => Creative Federalism (The ultimate goal): lucky if in 100 years.
  6. With Confederacy: a) Autonomy: - Member States (MSs) maintain a high degree of autonomy, and pursue their own policies ranging from institutions building to politics to economy to security amongst others whereas the National Government (NG) is designated to i) pursue and coordinate common national interest, and ii) provide protection of shared services and interests. b) Decentralisation: - Power is highly decentralised with MSs retaining significant power, and by extension sovereignty where the Nat. Gov't has control over explicitly delegated matters to it by MSs. MSs could withdraw some of said powers, and can withdraw from the Confederation. c) Supremacy of the law: - MSs are sovereign political entities ONLY affording the Nat. Gov't limited, distinct powers explicitly defined, and agreed upon. The Nat. Gov't lacks authority to compel compliance from MSs. d) Flexibility: - MSs have the ability to negotiate, modify, and update relationship with the Nat. Gov't. Significant national amendments would require MSs' consent, and consultation.
  7. This reminds me of where Dhoodaan opined: " ... Maskax fiican ruuxaan lahayn wuu dardarayaaye, Adoo bari ka sugayuu galbeed kaaga soo degiye, Miyaan kuu dhameeyaa naxwaha mise bar baad dooni".
  8. This was reer Hargeysa today after the news of trade reroute has reached the locals. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=932467638986407&t=0

  11. Trading concession for DDS: no taxes for incoming cargo ships at Bosaso & Garacad.
  12. Not only is Confederacy on the menu, but its foundation has been planted to manage political configuration in the next 20 years, and to direct the public discourse. Let us see if we'll be ready for Federalism in 20 years. Good reflections of the reality on the ground though. Be careful though, you might be branded unpatriotic for applying logic to the rudderless fleet Xasan & Co are running ashore. You see, in the animal world, in the event of an advancing storm, there are those with heightened sense of ensuing danger, and those with none. Those that can detect dark clouds gathering force make rescue plans for all, and those with no sense of danger perish only to bleat "help" at the closing bell. The former is defamed for cautioning the unsuspecting cowering masses for the beckoning danger. We have been here before, are familiar with the bleats of the cravens, and get on with the obligation at hand. Dare I say the biggest benefactors will be none other than those raging puppeteers. Therein lies the difference, and as the old poet reflects: "Guuguulihiiyow haddaad guga u ooyayso, Oo aad moodday keligaa inuu gubayo jiilaalku, Oo aad gamoorahakan maran gama’ la’aan diiday, Ayna gocosho awgeed ilmadu kaaga gobo’laysay, Guumays cirroobaan ahaye war an ku gaarsiiyo" It was Tallaabo whose naivety and nacamlayn got my goat, and not MMA whom I treat as if that 40 year old left at home with the "maxays" when 12 year olds have gone to war with their fathers. See, I grew up with the following verses at the back of my mind: Wiil 12 jira hadduu lalli ahaan waayo, Looyaanta dirireed hadduu laagga rogi waayo, Liibaanta xoolaad hadduu luug ku dari waayo, Marti leyl dhexaad timid hadduu luun ka rogi waayo, Kol haddii labaatan u duggoo laba u dheeraato, Raganimo luddiis kuma jirtee leexaye ogaada! I am more interested in advancing discussion around this concept, and less concerned of dimwits who wish to derail a meaningful discourse to be had, as their contribution is nought.
  13. Hereri interviews him about the capacity, faculties, and size of the project.
  14. Dr Darmaan taking on a mammoth of a project desperately needed in Somalia.
  15. f@ck off, you dimwit, read what he said before responding with nacamlayn, and learn how to decipher meaning out of complex concepts.
  16. I told you before you are more suited to conversing with young girls, and not with men, and this is more of a serious conversation about concepts and ideas for mature men. But I'll not hold it against you, just let me know once you have reached my station perhaps in 20 years. The countdown begins. Do not disappoint.
  17. As true as that is, I suspect it might be too late to steer humpty dumpty back on track in time to resuscitate it. I do not think Deni has the temperament nor the acumen to cross swords with the yahoos in Xamar for a final bout upon the sands.
  18. Reer PL are deliberative folks when ti comes to politics, and would prefer to charter a more practical path, for secession hardly serves the public interest of neither Somalia nor PL. Besides, its people see their future with their brethren elsewhere in Somali territories. The intent is to give other FMSs / regions time and space to experiment, charter own destiny, and have a platform to experiment and grow as they find their own way to prioritise where the national interest supersedes that of political leaders. No need to frogmarch unable, or unwilling FMSs to tag along, let each find its own pace, stand on its own feet at first, and then let us try Federalism at the right time. And till mature political leaders have taken the reins, let each FMS or region trot at own pace, and as it desires. Time to change direction after 20 years of tried, but abused Federalism. Let MMA and the Kacaanist crowd choke on that!
  19. PL no longer considers the current FGS nor its Institutions, existing in name only, legitimate entity representative of the nation or its people. With Federalism abandoned and the Constitution piddled on by the leaders of the FGS, and to step away from ensuing mayhem, as witnessed in J House, where drones had been attacked in Ras kamboni in Nov, and now in Gedo, where clan militias and mercenaries had been airlifted to instigate unrest, PL is taking the natural course of chartering a secure political direction, one which guarantees the future of its citizenry. Therefore, it shall adopt Confederacy, where it share nothing but a nationhood with Somalia. All Powers including Sovereignty shall rest with PL. Articles in the 2012 Federal Constitution, which designate certain Powers for the Federal government, namely the 4 Federal Powers, are no longer applicable.
  20. Your logic is flawed. You argue no nation uses two currencies ONLY to offer examples where more than one currency is used. if two currencies are being used, and can be used, why not three or five? Damiinimadu waa ibtilo rabbaani ah! Did you know there are nations where up to 4 currencies, or even more, are being used? Let me catch you up, as you seem a bit behind the curve: PL is going one step farther to Confederacy to rein in the tawdry Centrists (Kacaanists), which is the only way to tutor the dimwits. Did you know PL already has its own SOS only used in PL? Did you know SOS used in Xamar is not accepted, nor works in PL? It is where the old Arab Bard opined: إِن كانَ سَرَّكُمُ ما قالَ حاسِدُنا فَما لِجُرحٍ إِذا أَرضاكُمُ أَلَمُ Scotland & Ireland have their own currencies, minted by Banks of Scotland & Ireland, distinct from England & Wales. Both are accepted elsewhere in mainland Britain as codified in the Acts of Union. Noteworthy, in Scotland & Ireland, one would find one pound note, yet so is not true in England & Wales. Nations where more than one currency is used: Serbia-Montenegro (Yugoslav dinar & € ), El Salvador (peso, bitcoin, $), Panama (balboa & $), Cambodia (riel & $) Amongst others, East timor, Ecaduaro use US $, Pacific islands use NZ $. There are nations where currencies of other nations are accepted, say Brunei & Singapore, S Africa rand accepted in Namibia & Lesotho etc. ------------------------------- List of countries where US $ is used: United States (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, United States Virgin Islands), Bonaire, British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Cambodia, East Timor, Ecuador, El Salvador, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Panama, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Turks and Caicos Islands, Venezuela, Zimbabwe
  21. You lack focus let alone a sense of bigger picture. You have got fires ablaze at Oog, Qorilugud, Ceerigaabo, and Dawacaley fronts, not to mention recently formed HA resistance, in other words, surrounded by fires. The only route open to you was Wajaale, and now that it has been shut down where will you go? Time to think about saving your own hide inside the triangle, and forget about yester daydreams. This is the reality on the ground today with minor adjustments.
  22. We are coming for Ceerigaabo, and will do the right thing, as had been done elsewhere: a shared city. Till then, let the secessionists keep looting. ------------------------------------ https://twitter.com/radiodaljir/status/1869036894081753215 SSC-KHATUMO SECURITY FORCES ON THE VERGE OF CONTROL OF CEERIGAABO Heavy fighting is now underway in Ceerigaabo between SSC-Khatumo and Somaliland forces.
