Local ministers of Puntland with the people[/i]

This article is the best hope some have of causing pain to the state, it's like a decade ago when the BBC had an article about "two Lesbians on trail" in Bosaso. The story was fiction but it was on the BBC English service and there demo's held to free the non existent two ladies. Thus even the biggest media outlets can make a big gaff. This is just like that.

^^^The Garad from that branch is in the US last time I checked for medical treatment. However Nassir boy is here comparing a mere Nabadoon to Garad C/llahi Cali Ciid?

Nassir if this is source driven and for justice then why can we not see Attam like this ?

Can the Islaan (tribal chief) Garaad Saxardiid who is from Galgala and western Bari region have already spoken out against the injustice of Puntland and the resource conflict. Read this BBC Interview with Garaad Sahardiid of Western Bari Hard to suppress the resource conflict of the region.... Who is Garad Saxardiid? Nassir poor lad, you must thing that we are ignorant or lack understanding, to compare a simple spokesperson to the Garad is pathetic and desperate on your part. If you listen to the audio interview the Garad mentions all the elders of that sub clan by name and their position including his cousin the Suldan. Now go off and make up a story or two about the great city of Gold under the hills of Galgala.

Well said, its desperation on the part of Yabarow [Yarisow is the TFG Minister], who is scared to death of this policy change from Washington.

^^^Good to see you at your station old man..

Indeed, peace is a valuable thing. There is nothing but peace and love between all the people of Puntland. Politicians can make mistakes, but to say there is hatred between whole communities who share everything is false to say the least.

The Puntland Press release was so clear in highlighting that there is no clan hatred, animosity or even conflict between the united people of Puntland. It sent a strong and no nonsense message to those who live on lies and hate progress The secondary evidence of audio interview of Garad C/llahi, and the Minsiters among the people will add to the thread in order to hamar home the point that there is no clan animosity and the desperate Yabarow and his ilk need to calm down. Be assured one has no time for those who live and work tirelessly to fuel clan animosity and engender hatred between peaceful kin. For they have already lost.

Puntland Press release.. Second, the article appears to be advocating for the United States to appease the Al-Shabab and warns of drastic actions if the United States assists Puntland in its effort to deny Al-Qaeda and her affiliates to establish a safe heaven in its territory. Quoting an unknown Somalia observer based in Norway, Ms. Ryu writes“ The danger is…you could act in a way that could mobilize the ********** to the Shabab side.” The ********** are at the forefront of the war against Al-Shabab which is locally led by the internationally sanctioned, self-confessed terrorist Mohamed Said “Atom”, and the false prediction that a robust United States engagement with Puntland on counterterrorism may spur the ********** to join the Al-Shabab is absurd. It might be instructive to note that the ********** did not extend any assistance, in any way to “Atom” and his terrorist compatriots whilst they fully supported the government’s operations to cleanse the latter from their hideout in Galgala. This article is a cheap ploy to frustrate the implementation of the recently announced United States government’s “Two-track” Somalia engagement policy through the dissemination of unfounded information and propaganda. Schemes of this kind however sophisticated will not succeed to prevent the governments of Puntland and the United States continuing their mutually beneficial cooperation in the crucial area of the war against terrorism and violent extremism in the region.

^^^That paragraph was powerful. A man who hides his face from the public can never claim to lead anyone.

Gallad Your frustration and utter desperation is quite evident. I am old enough to know a fake avatar in SOL when I see one. However like that paragraph of the State’s press release makes clear, if Attam is a Clan hero and fighting for justice he would not be hiding his face. Gen Abdullahi Jama is a Puntland hero and he does not hide his face.

United States to Strengthen Engagement with Puntland, Somaliland Written by AFRICOM Thursday, 30 September 2010 15:28 The United States will strengthen engagement with the governments of Puntland and Somaliland in Somalia as part of a two-track policy aimed at curbing the growth of terrorist extremism, but also to support the Transitional Federal Government, says Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson. At a briefing September 24 in New York, Carson said the two-track policy supports the Djibouti peace process, the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the government of Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, president of Somalia. Carson, who is the assistant secretary for African affairs, told reporters at the special briefing that the first track is designed to help the TFG become more effective and more inclusive and to give it the ability to provide services to its people. In addition, the United States will continue to work to strengthen the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). Engagement with Puntland and Somaliland is part of the second track, he added. "We hope to be able to have more American diplomats and aid workers going into those countries on an ad hoc basis to meet with government officials to see how we can help them improve their capacity to provide services to their people, seeing whether there are development assistance projects that we can work with them on," Carson said. "We think that both of these parts of Somalia have been zones of relative political and civil stability, and we think they will, in fact, be a bulwark against extremism and radicalism that might emerge from the South." The United States, as part of the second track, will reach out to groups in south-central Somalia, local governments, clans and subclans that are opposed to al-Shabaab, the radical extremist group in the South. These are groups, Carson said, that are not allied formally or directly with the TFG, reports AFRICOM. "We will look for opportunities to work with these groups to see if we can identify them, find ways of supporting their development initiatives and activities," Carson added. But Carson said the United States will follow the African Union position and recognize only a single Somali state. A major meeting on Somalia was held by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the sidelines of the opening of the UN General Assembly that brought together heads of state from five different African nations, several African foreign ministers and European foreign ministers, Carson said. Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg represented the United States as this meeting and set out the two-track policy, Carson said. The problems in Somalia, he added, are viewed as a national problem for the people of Somalia, a regional problem for Africa and a global problem. "It is a problem that has metastasized over the last two decades, which has led to a situation where we now have international piracy, foreign fighters going into Somalia, and some groups in Somalia supporting remnants of the al-Qaida East Africa cell," he said. The situation in Somalia poses a regional problem because of the large number of refugees flowing into neighboring Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen and Djibouti, he said. In addition to a large flow of refugees, large amounts of illegal arms are flowing into Somalia and illegal commerce is going on, he added. "Somalia is a collapsed state with a weak government unable to project either power or stability or to provide services to its people," Carson said. Carson said that greater engagement means meeting periodically with government officials from Puntland and Somaliland, discussing a range of development issues that include health, education, agriculture and water projects. The aim is to strengthen their ability to govern and to deliver vital public services, he added. All US operations for Somalia are run out of Nairobi, Kenya, he said. The Djibouti peace process is an African-led initiative that has the support of IGAD, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, according to Carson in a March press briefing on the peace process. It has the support of the African Union and the key states in the region, and has also been supported by the United Nations, the European Community, the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, he added. The Djibouti peace process recognizes the importance of trying to put together an inclusive Somali government and takes into account the importance of history, culture and clan and subclan relations.

And we all know where hating on Puntland has gotten Senor Yuusuf Garaad! Yeah it got him crying at night at the folly. And cursing Xasan Dahir, Ahmed Abdisalaan and all those fools who told him those lies. One should never belive everything one hears from back home.
