^^^Never seen a wet patch in all your life huh..

^^^Puntland does not by force claim anything adeer. Its a voluntary union based on shared interest. Those who lack land, and have inferiority complex claim things that don’t belong to them.

^^^My region is the fastest growing in terms of population and economy in all of Somalia. With a large and influential Somali Diaspora and playing its role in the central government as it always has done. The hot air comes from those who follow everything the Duke does and have no clue what their interest is. I know who and what I am, what the hell are you?

^^^Thats the airport poor AYOUB.. The Puntland Somali's welcomed the President at the airport.

Presented at the 19th Meeting of the International Contact Group on Somalia 2 Jun 2, 2011 - 1:30:36 PM Speech of the President of Puntland State of Somalia H.E. Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud (Farole) His Excellency Gen. Yoweri Museveni, the President of Uganda; His Excellency Pierre Nkurunziza, the President of Burundi; Amb. Augustine Mahiga, Co-Chair of the Meeting; His Excellency Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, President of the TFG of Somalia; Hon. Sharif Hassan, Speaker of Transitional Federal Parliament; Ambassadors representing International Contact Group countries; Distinguished Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen; Good afternoon Your Excellencies, It is a great opportunity and honor for me and my delegation from Puntland State of Somalia to participate in the 19th Meeting of the International Contact Group on Somalia. The inclusiveness of Somali stakeholders in the process of finding a political settlement is a forward step for the Somali national reconciliation process. The Government of Puntland is pleased to contribute towards a lasting peace in Somalia. I would like to present my sincere thanks and appreciation to the peoples and Governments of Uganda and Burundi, who have contributed troops to help stabilize Somalia. We pay tribute to the efforts of the AMISOM peacekeeping force in Mogadishu to fight against extremists and terrorists, and we send our condolences to the families of deceased peacekeepers. Our government expresses its gratitude to the International Contact Group on Somalia for supporting the peace and reconciliation process. International forums and conferences convened to exchange views and information play an important role and produce ideas that help lead Somalia and the wider international community towards finding a peaceful settlement to the Somali crises. Your Excellencies, Allow me to underline Puntland’s proposition for ending the transitional period and post-transitional arrangements, as well as addressing other key issues: Security – 1. Terrorist groups – Al Qaeda and its Somali and Yemeni offshoots – pose great risk to regional security and stability. The Puntland Government is deeply concerned about the worsening situation in Yemen, which will impact Somalia and especially Puntland. Already, thousands of refugees fleeing conflict and insecurity in Yemen are returning to Puntland. 2. Al Shabaab terrorist group has regrouped in the Golis Mountains that stretch along the northern coast of Somalia. This terrorist group wishes to destabilize Puntland and threaten the strategic Gulf of Aden waterway. Presently, Puntland government forces are in full-scale preparation to confront and defeat the terrorists in the mountains. 3. The Puntland Government requests urgent and long-term security assistance from the international community, as Puntland has been denied its legitimate share of security assistance provided to Somalia by the international community. More than 12,000 soldiers were trained and equipped for the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) with international support, but Puntland was excluded from the training program. 4. Puntland praises the role of the AMISOM peacekeeping force in Mogadishu to bolster the Transitional Federal Institutions. Currently, there is peace in Puntland, which needs to be sustained and strengthened. The Puntland Government requests an AMISOM peacekeeping contingent to be deployed in Puntland to establish a Joint Force and to begin training security forces inside Puntland. 5. Puntland supports the African Union’s proposal to exercise naval blockade of coastal access for Al Shabaab terrorists and air support for AMISOM peacekeepers; Piracy – 1. The underlying cause of piracy should be identified and addressed properly as a phenomenon that emerged from the last 20 years of lawlessness on land in Somalia. 2. Somali coastal communities should be assisted with peace-building development projects, including revitalizing fish-canning factories and other fishing industry activities. 3. The establishment and training of the Puntland Marine Force (PMF) is in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1976 (11 April 2011). The Security Council should give a waiver to the PMF to complete its training for anti-piracy forces and commence land-based operations against pirates, thereby complementing international naval efforts. Reconciliation – 1. Somalia needs social healing and political reconciliation to recover from 20 years of armed conflict and national fragmentation. A social repair process of reconciliation, as “people touch people,” should be encouraged among Somali communities. 2. The international community should support the Puntland initiative of promoting grassroots community reconciliation among Somalis leading up to a national process, but not political reconciliation exclusively among political actors, as was the case in the past. 3. Puntland welcomes and shall participate at conferences called by the United Nations. Ending the Transition – 1. Elections for the positions of Speaker of Parliament and President of Somalia should be held before August 20, 2011, prior to the expiration of the mandate for the Transitional Federal Institutions. The election should take place inside a peaceful and stable area of Somalia. 2. Puntland supports the outcome of the UN-organized High-Level Consultative Meeting on Somalia, held in Nairobi 12-13 April 2011, which proposed a two-year term extension for the Transitional Federal Parliament (TFP), in order to save the basic institution and prevent a power vacuum. 3. The TFP term-extension is subject to major parliamentary reforms: first, drastic reduction of the current 550 MPs to a reasonable number (i.e. 185 MPs); and secondly, using constituency-based selection criteria, instead of the unfair and divisive clan-based 4.5 Formula. 4. Puntland welcomes the UN Security Council Meeting on Somalia, held in Nairobi on 25 May 2011, which was held after the High-Level Consultative Meeting of 12-13 April 2011. Puntland praises the Security Council for reaffirming the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Somalia. We acknowledge that the Security Council mandated the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, Ambassador Mahiga, to lead and carry forth the remaining process of ending the transition. 5. Puntland shall soon appoint its representatives to the Joint Preparatory Committee which includes key stakeholders, as called for by the SRSG to Somalia, Ambassador Mahiga. Post-transitional Arrangements – 1. The incoming government that assumes office after August 20, 2011, should complete key transitional tasks within a period of two years, with measureable predetermined benchmarks. Undertaking major security reforms, advancing reconciliation, completing the Draft Federal Constitution in an inclusive process, formation of new federal states, and delivery of basic services, should be the top priorities. 2. The required parliamentary reforms should be completed well before the formation of the next parliament, preferably before August 20, 2012. 3. The legitimate state and regional authorities should be strengthened through institution-building support, while the formation of all the federal states should be completed before August 20, 2013. Federalism – 1. Puntland is the number one pillar of the Transitional Federal Institutions. Since 2004, Puntland has committed more than 3,000 soldiers to Mogadishu, with hundreds killed while serving the TFG of Somalia. 2. Puntland was established as a federal state in Somalia in 1998. In 2004, Somalia sanctioned federalism as the only viable system of government. The country has suffered from 30 years of centralist rule followed by 20 years of anarchy. Somalia needs to be re-instituted under a federal arrangement that decentralizes power and resources between the national government and state governments, as stipulated by the Federal Constitution. Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs – 1. Puntland State of Somalia respects and protects the dignity and human rights of all people, as enshrined in the Puntland State Constitution. 2. Hosting over 300,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), who are predominantly from southern Somalia, has been an economic burden on the Puntland Government and its meager resources. Puntland receives no international contributions to sustain the IDPs, who share with the host community access to security, justice, healthcare, and employment opportunities. The Government acknowledges and is seriously concerned that agents of terrorism and insecurity may disguise themselves among the IDP communities in order to evade authorities. Puntland requires assistance with managing IDP communities. 3. Puntland’s urban poor and nomadic communities receive no assistance, in terms of livestock sector development, vocational training and investment. 4. Finally, Puntland urges the international community to rush to the aid of Somalis affected by the drought and in need of emergency humanitarian assistance.

Tribal leader Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar is surrounded by bodyguards as he walks in his house while police clash with tribesmen loyal to him outside the house in Sanaa May 24, 2011.

^^^Adeer no one is against your community forming their own admin, defending their own land. I am just bored with all the blame being heaped on a specific clan. How on earth did one even manipulate your community? As I have said before, one should clean up their own house before attacking others. SSC can do a great job of developing their regions if they show unity of purpose.

^^^Adeer, we have been fighting for 20 years, and the same people you call enemies were led by the same clown you want to give an extension. The meeting in Mogadishu is an opportunity and should not be hijacked by Sharif Hotel and Farmaajo. If it is and they start talking about extensions then there will be no govenemnt recognized by anyone. The money and support that you get from the international community will stop. Puntland should fight any such talk, and there should be change. If the parliament goes no one cares, thet should all go. However no extension for clown Sharif and Farmaajo. That’s assured.

^^^Adeer you can talk all you want. There will be no extension, and if there is one even discussed Puntland should walk away. Ximan-Xeeb, Galmudug and all the "Somali's you are talking about can not force us to accept such crap. There will be no extension, and if there is Puntland will fight it. Who the hell are these men to get an extension? No one

^^^Adeer, I never took you or your tabloid sites anything other than classic jesters. However just highlighting the truth, we know who are pulling the strings with regards to your tabloid and the stance that you hold so dear. Ali Khalif’s projects and hate towrads CERTAIN CLANS have never been knew to us and I am highlighting to you the facts. This topic was an attack on Puntland, those who are attacking Puntland notably the men and Garad’s I mentioned will be taken down just like any other enemies of the state and people of Puntland.

Adeer the Mogadishu meeting led by MAHIGA and AMISOM is no problem, however there will be no extension regardless of your delusions. Sharif Ahmed is not special and thus will not get any special treatment. You will sitt with other delegates and no more. If there is talk of extension, then goodbye son.

Ian Black Middle East editor The US is stepping up efforts to persuade Yemen's veteran president to step down before escalating fighting between the government and tribal rebels develops into fully-fledged civil war. Diplomats said that Washington was now pressing hard to convince Ali Abdullah Saleh to reconsider his rejection of a peace plan brokered by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states alarmed by the prospect of growing instability in the region. John Brennan, Barack Obama's counter-terrorism adviser, held talks in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, where the government has strong ties with Yemeni tribes but has been slow to act. It has been accused of sending mixed signals to Saleh, who is seen as desperate to cling on to power after 32 years. Brennan has previously worked closely with Saleh on fighting al-Qaida – a key US and western concern. The Yemeni leader has reneged on an accord which would see him hand over power to his deputy in return for an amnesty from prosecution. He has agreed to sign the deal on several occasions but then backed out, apparently holding out for terms that would wring new concessions from his rivals. The official Yemeni news agency Saba quoted a government source on Thursday as saying that he was now ready to sign, but the claim appeared to make little impact. "It's all about getting him to sign that piece of paper," said one western official. "It's the only game in town but he clearly hasn't grasped that yet." Reports from Sana'a said Saleh's forces were deploying heavy weapons at the entrance to the capital city to prevent the advance of rebels loyal to Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar, chief of the Hashid tribal federation, the country's largest. At least 135 people have been killed in the last 10 days alone. The situation in Yemen remains confused and communications are difficult. Al-Jazeera TV reported that an estimated 2,000 members of opposition tribal groups, which were "armed and ready to fight," had entered the capital to confront forces loyal to Saleh. "We expect [the tribal fighters] to take control of different government complexes," said the editor of the Yemen Post, Hakim al Masmari. A military official told the Associated Press that government warplanes would attack the fighters if they tried to advance on the capital. "There are orders and instruction that if they approach and engage, we can strike them with airplanes," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity according to regulations. For their part, the tribesman said they were awaiting orders to approach. "We won't leave al-Ahmar alone and will enter Sanaa to stand with him and to fight alongside him," Mohammed al-Hamdani, a tribal leader, told AP. Video clips showed heavy fighting in the Hasaba area, where 15 people were killed overnight. One casualty was a seven-year old girl struck by a stray bullet. Sana'a international airport was closed briefly because of shelling, fuelling fears the country would be cut off from the wider world. But it reopened later as the authorities insisted all was normal. Russia urged its citizens to leave Yemen in the wake of the violence. The US and Britain have advised their nationals to depart and their embassies are both operating with reduced staff. A Yemeni government official said street fighting had intensified because special forces were now involved. Civilians have been fleeing Sana'a in their thousands, hurriedly packing possessions in their cars. "It felt as if the artillery shells were flying next to my head," resident Sadeq al-Lahbe tolds Reuters before leaving. "My wife, my daughter were screaming. It was horrible. There is no electricity, no water and violent strikes shaking the house. Is this life?" In the central city of Taiz, where anti Saleh activists have held massive demonstrations since the start of the uprising, military police were seen firing live ammunition at protesters. The UN said at least 50 people had been killed there since Sunday. The battles in Yemen are being fought on several fronts, with street fighting between tribal groups and Saleh's forces in Sana'a, popular protests across the country, and a battle against al-Qaida and Islamist militants who have seized the coastal city of Zinjibar, east of Aden. Government forces have been pounding the city for several days. Brennan's Gulf mission followed mounting alarm and frustration in Washington and London at the way the crisis is unfolding. On Wednesday the US secretary of state Hillary Clinton said Yemen's conflict would not end unless Saleh and his government made way for the opposition to begin a political transition. "We cannot expect this conflict to end unless President Saleh and his government move out of the way to permit the opposition and civil society to begin a transition to political and economic reform," Clinton said.

Thousands of residents are fleeing Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, as fighting between opposition tribesmen and loyalist troops of president Ali Abdullah Saleh, rages on. Much of the clashes which began late on Wednesday night occurred in the Hasaba district of northern Sanaa, where Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar, the powerful leader of the Hashed tribal confederation, has his base. Yemen’s defence ministry said the Special Forces, headed by Saleh’s son Ahmed, have been deployed to “liberate” buildings held by al-Ahmar’s fighters. Medics in Sanaa told the AFP news agency that 15 people had been killed in the overnight clashes, including a seven-year-old girl hit by a stray bullet. They have yet to receive word on casualties from Thursday’s fighting as ambulance crews were unable to access the neighbourhood. Hakim Al Masmari, editor of the Yemen Post, told Al Jazeera that an estimated 2,000 additional fighters "armed and ready to fight" have entered Sanaa to reinforce the Hashed confederation. "We expect [the tribal fighters] to take control of different government complexes [in Sanaa]," Al Masmari said. For more on Yemen, visit our Spotlight page Witnesses near the Hasaba district said they heard several blasts but were not sure of the cause or damage. "There are very powerful explosions. Sounds like missiles or mortars. May God protect us," a resident said. One Sanaa resident told AFP that he and 30 members of his household were trying to flee Sanaa like the city’s many others. "Sanaa is deserted now and if these battles continue, Yemen will be finished," he said. Many shops were closed and long queues formed outside petrol stations. Residents who had remained complained of water shortages and power cuts.

Khadar adeer, you seem to be lost in the wilderness. You and your sub clan organizations are attacking Puntland at every turn and you want us to be quite? No adeer you can continue to hide from the truth all you like. The fact is, Xabsade is in Hargaysa sending SNM militia, as you claim to, kill, maim, burn and pillage SSC people and land. Yet you are here stating that he should not be rebuked, that no editorials should be written about this key player and pawn of the secessionists. In your opinion he should not be attacked by your hero’s since ”he is an individual”. The fact is, after much singing and fund raising and fan fair, Xaglatosiye he of the nice suits is in Ohio, in comfort with his family living it up. What happened to the struggle, to all the militiamen? Not one of you has the spine to address this. Ali Khalif of Minnesota and Garad Jama of Kenya are still singing the same old song. Yet no success, no change and no development for SSC and again Puntland is to blame. Brother, if you keep attacking Puntland [specific clan], your hero’s will be given a dressing down. No problem, just don’t open your mouth so much.

^^^No, Puntland should deal with the outside world on its own terms, and get its full rights for its people. This illegal TFG after August should not be recognised by Puntland or anyone else.

^^^I dont think these folks are blaming the VP, since he is an individual like Xabsade. Faroole is not an individual though, Suldan Garasse is not an individual though. You see if you read their tabload sites of late you will see that "Puntland admin" is a code word for a specefic clan. When Garad Jama insulted Puntland, he insulted Puntland and not an admin. Its been 12 years and Ali Khalif Galayr is doing the same stand up comedy. Garad Jama and the one before him are still playing the same people against this particular clan.

Ximan & Xeeb +Galmudug +Galgaduud + Hiiraan = a viable state. The rest is just deluisons of sub clan nonsense. Cadaado is getting much more organised which is a wonderful thing.
