The 20 year long of drunken induced delusions of secession and of creating a viable separate repubic is coming to an end. The hangover no doubt will be hard for many gullible folks who believed in the nonsense. The Siilanyu admin under pressure from its handlers are now coming back to the fold. Greater cooperation with Puntland is the start of a move towards shedding Hargaysa’s claim as capital of secession and re educating the population on the benefits of joining the union once again. They have no other options.

Somalia: Somaliland appeals for 'cooperation with Puntland' a second time 27 Sep 27, 2010 - 8:29:11 AM A senior member of the government in Somalia's separatist region of Somaliland has appealed for cooperation with the neighboring state of Puntland, Radio Garowe reports. Dr. Mohamed Abdi Gabose, a practicing medical doctor and Somaliland's new interior minister, told a press conference in Hargeisa Sunday that Somaliland "has started making good connections" with officials in Puntland. "Somaliland and Puntland share many things that cannot be hidden or denied based on brotherhood for the common interests of both. From now on, we [somaliland] want to on security matters because it seems there are anti-peace groups who want to threaten our peace," said Dr. Gabose, Somaliland's Internal Affairs Minister appointed by President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo, who won Somaliland’s presidential election in June. Dr. Gabose praised Puntland's government for the "war against insurgents and anti-peace groups" in the region. Last month, Dr. Gabose said Somaliland authorities are worried about the Galgala militants allied to Al Shabaab who have been defeated by Puntland troops in the Golis mountain range that stretches between Somaliland and Puntland. Separately, Somaliland's interior minister said local police have captured a "man suspected of the October 2008 bombings" in Hargeisa, which targeted the Somaliland presidential palace, a United Nations office, and an Ethiopian trade office in Hargeisa, capital of Somaliland. He did not provide details of the suspect’s case, but Dr. Gabose said Somaliland had increased its "intelligence an security capacity to prevent further terrorist attacks." No official in the government of Puntland has publicly responded to Dr. Gabose's offer of security cooperation between Somaliland and Puntland authorities. The two neighboring stable regions in northern Somalia have been recognized as part of a "two-track" U.S. engagement policy for Somalia recently. Somaliland and Puntland have had troubled relations over Sool and Sanaag regions since 2002, including sporadic military clashes. Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole has demanded that Somaliland withdraw its troops from Las Anod, one of Puntland's major towns in Sool region, which was seized by Somaliland forces in Oct. 2007. Somaliland's new administration President Silanyo has publicly stated that it will pursue "peaceful negotiations" on the matter of Sool and Sanaag regions. Located in northwestern Somalia, Somaliland unilaterally declared independence from the rest of Somalia in 1991 but has not gained international recognition as an independent country.

^^^Not sure why you used the word "sexy" in this context. Peace is an important subject however its the secessionist who are changing gears.. They are starting to admit to their people that secession is over..

Here is the Shiekh in Spain Fergusson: Brother Sharif has been out of Mogadishu the past week. He went to New York and is now in Madrid. He was given a big slap by the US admin and is now bussy as JB stated in thinking of the new PM.

^^^Hear hear....

Originally posted by Ferguson: quote:Originally posted by General Duke: Al Shabaab didn’t immediately comment on the attack. No government has claimed responsibility. Why that you think, Generale? ,,, I am not sure Fergusson, they bombed a meeting, the problem is we dont know who they are yet, maybe Blackwater, but its ironic that the holly fake Shiekhs led by incompetent Sharif is silent on this issue.

Originally posted by Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar: At least Shariifka doesn't and didn't say 'idaacadaha baan ka maqlay' MMA, as usual you are a comedian of the age. Now Yusuf heard it on the Radio and commented on it. The question is has Sharif even heard it, and if yes has he condemned this act as he did the one in 2006? What has changed MMA, oh I forgot you are the ultra nationalist Somali who supported his Sharif’s selling the sea to Kenya. A thing Yusuf and his supporters would never even dream of. Anyhow we shall keep them honest.

This new shift of policy will have a major effect on the Somali political landscape in the upcoming decades.. It is hoped that the delivery and impact of U.S. aid to the stable regions will not suffer from the chronic corruption renowned for U.N. offices in Nairobi. Both governments in Puntland and Somaliland are more than capable of hosting, managing and directing the flow of development projects, but might require some external technical expertise. The U.S. must set the example in empowering Somali communities by assuring that the development projects create jobs mostly for Somalis, contribute to local economic activities, and advance common goals and interests.

This is the beggining of many such talks. Since Hargaysa has given up on ever getting recognition from the international community. The US stance is most welcome.

" ...But we will also be pursuing a secondtrack, which we think is also increasingly important, and that is we willwork to engage more actively with the governments of Puntland andSomaliland. We hope to be able to have more American diplomats and aidworkers going into those countries on an ad hoc basis to meet withgovernment officials to see how we can help them improve their capacity toprovide services to their people, seeing whether there are developmentassistance projects that we can work with them on.

^^^ indeed the fact that Puntland could defeat a well armed terror group in the hills all in a single day has sent a strong single to the world powers. The fact that the Puntland deputy Minister for sports could justw all around and start a competition for 11 Schools as some are reporting is remarkable and a true reflection of the states deep strength and support from it's people.

Abdullahi Ahmed Jama’, the interior minister of the Puntland administration, said they were happy to support cooperation with the United States for aid and development aspects with their administration. Jama’ said Puntland had already called for the United States and the international community to support and help peaceful areas in the war-ravaged Horn of Africa nation. some won't like that quote.

Somalia’s Puntland, Somaliland Support U.S. Cooperation Garowe, Hargeisa, Somalia (AHN) - The semi-autonomous region of Somalia’s Puntland and the break-away republic of Somaliland support U.S. cooperation, authorities said Sunday. Abdullahi Ahmed Jama’, the interior minister of the Puntland administration, said they were happy to support cooperation with the United States for aid and development aspects with their administration. Jama’ said Puntland had already called for the United States and the international community to support and help peaceful areas in the war-ravaged Horn of Africa nation. A press release issued by Puntland’s Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation said, “The government of Puntland appreciates this new and pragmatic approach which we think better reflects the current political reality in the country as well as how best the long lasting present quagmire can be ended. The TFG [Transitional Federal Government] has a glaring lack of capacity to fulfill its mandate by upholding the charter, fostering national reconciliation, embracing and encouraging the constitutional development process, and fighting and defeating violent extremist groups can no longer be ignored.” Separately, the break-away republic of Somaliland welcomed the U.S. engagement policy in Somalia. Mohammed Abdullahi Omar, foreign affairs minister of Somaliland, signaled that Somaliland was interested in U.S. cooperation, particularly education, health, aid and development aspects. “After [the] last free and fair democratic election which occurred in Somaliland, we were expecting from United States and [the] international community to take such step,” said Omar. Friday, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson said U.S. officials were developing ties with both Puntland and Somaliland, both of which declared themselves independent in the early 1990s. "Both of these parts of Somalia have been zones of relative political and civil stability and we think they in fact will be a bulwark against extremism and radicalism that might emerge from the south," Carson told reporters. Somaliland and Puntland have been the most stable areas in Somalia after the collapse of the country’s military government in 1991.

Puntland Supports the new US "Two-track" Somalia Engagement Policy. 26. september 2010 PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION PRESS RELEASE Sunday, September 26, 2010 The government of the Puntland State of Somalia welcomes the statement by the US Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Ambassador Johnnie Carson during his September 24, 2010 joint press conference at the United Nations General Assembly with P.J. Crawley, US Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs unveiling the United States’ new “two-track” Somalia engagement policy. The government of Puntland appreciates this new and pragmatic approach which we think better reflects the current political reality in the country as well as how best the long lasting present quagmire can be ended. The TFG’s glaring lack of capacity to fulfill its mandate by upholding the charter, fostering national reconciliation, embracing and encouraging the constitutional development process, and fighting and defeating violent extremist groups can no longer be ignored. This new policy will not only be viewed as a strategic reward of the commitment to peace and institutional governance chosen by the people of Puntland and Somaliland, it stands also, if vigorously pursued, to create demonstrable incentives significant enough to entice the rest of Somalia to appreciate the fruits of peaceful state building, adherence to the rule of law, good governance and the rejection of the kind of anarchic tendencies that encourage terrorism, piracy and similar criminal activities. Puntland State stands ready to work with the government of the United States and the rest of the international community in creating a terror-free, peaceful and democratic Somalia at peace with herself and with the rest of the international community including our neighbors. The United States’ new engagement policy will most certainly help us move closer to the attainment of this much cherished albeit heretofore elusive goal. Puntland will cooperate with the international community in particular, the United States, the EU, the United Nations, the AU, the OIC, the LAS and IGAD among others in the search for more effective ways of rebuilding and strengthening the federal institutions in Somalia. To this end, we are ready to, if necessary, provide to both the most essential international agencies and key transitional federal institutions with safe and operational office space inside Puntland for as long as needed. Moreover the government of Puntland will spare no effort to do everything possible to ensure the success of this new American policy toward Somalia and calls on the rest of Somalia as well as the international community to welcome this fresh approach by the US government. Finally, the government of Puntland welcomes and deeply appreciates Ambassador Carson’s strong and unambiguous support for Somali unity, national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

^^^ Galgalanews.com walaal, you are getting a tad desperate, are you now speaking for the State Department who clearly stated that this was not the usual but "greater engagement". Also they mentioned Puntland & Somaliland with regards to development it's clear and I have never seen any clear policy change statesman in the time of the Bush adminstration like we have seen this Friday. Also answer the question if there is a war as you have us belive and people support clown agent Attam, why is Qodax walking around as a memener of Puntland cabinet opening a Football competition?

In 2010 I guess foreign aggression does not have the same fashionable effect it once did. Let's keep them honest.

[ November 25, 2010, 10:39 AM: Message edited by: Admin ]

I would like to add how come a Puntlander Minister can engage the people, move freely and show his face when Attam can not? Liiban Adeer SSC is a real political movement and one that deserves our support. Saleban Ciise is a politician who is at his home and does not fear to show his face in public.

Originally posted by : Mr. Somalia, For all we know "Puntland" is a carbon copy of the "Somaliland" admin. It started as a regional administration, graduated to a State with its own flag and now its officials are calling "Puntland" as a break away state. One Nation can't be divided into tribal states. It has already failed. Galgalnews.com, Walaal don't you have no shame? I know you are upset that there is no such thing as a "Makhir admin" and that even your greatest hero Gen IlkaJiir Interior Minister of Puntland has welcomed the new US state department position on greater engagement. I know that you and your comrades are today having a bad weekend because of the failure of your agenda and the fact that no one in Puntland is taking you seriously. If you are now a secessionist a "Somalilander" by all means come out of the closet and declare your position You went from a unionist to supporting Al Shabaab agent Attam and now a full blown secessionist all in the span of a few weeks, that is remarkable. Also I love how people see Duke in everywhere and In every response.

So now the argument is that Dhahar is not an are that is effected because it is so far away? Let me take you back to the original title. Soccer Tournament Begins for Over 11 High schools in Sanag, Haylaan, W.Bari (pic)] We are told over 11 Highschools from the two Puntland regions and the non region were participating. Thus one is assuming Galgala High School was in the games representing Bari ?

Nassir: Adeer I don't even mind responding to you since you seem to be a bit more rational. However I won't waste a great deal of time on this. If as you say Faroole is at war with the people of this region and in particular members of this community, then why are the Youths welcoming this "traitor", this "criminal mercenary" who has sold out to Faroole and why is the media reporting this? Your own posts are contradicting your own talking points. Again if the people of this community are supporting the defeated man, would this man Qodax & Abdi Jamal before him have visited this area so easily and mixed with the people as this picture shows. You need to up your game lad, and you know Puntland is doing real well these days as highlighted by the new US held policy.
