The important thing is the Diaspora is waking up. That the state is still alive in terms of world recognition. This man, is a relic of the past walking around. I hope he succeeds, but so far he has failed to even outline a specefic action plan, let alone implement any sort of strategy. Sorry this is not the politics section..

member was imprisoned and his script wu shahidey lool.

Castro, not only can one tell she is an imposter, one can even determine the SOL Nomad behind the script..

^^^Lychee, who was talking about you>? My advice was general and not specefic to any individual. Fear of commitment = deluded search for "perfection"..

My advice stop looking, live your life and if you meet someone you like, then give them a chance. The search for perfection is a waste of time, no one is perfect, everyone has flaws, the question is can you live with their flaws?

^^^Adeer you seem to be talking to yourself. It seems we have another fake Puntlander in the house,.

ABWAN; You seem to get lost and end up in Puntland threads all the time. Better luck next time adeer, your waffle is getting worse by the day.

Nice response..

Somalia: Puntland Government Continues Anti-Piracy Campaign, Rejects Monitoring Group Accusations Reference is made to a New York Times article (“Somalia Food Aid Bypasses Needy, UN Study Finds”) published on 9 March 2010, whereby the renowned U.S.-based newspaper cited a still-secret report drafted by the U.N. Monitoring Group regarding a number of issues in Somalia. According to the Times article, the U.N. report alleges that the President of Puntland had “extensive ties to pirates in the area, who then funneled some of the money they made from hijacking ships to authorities’’. The above is a huge nonsensical accusation; a feeble attempt to defame the president that requires to be proven. The Government of Puntland has not received a copy of this U.N. report yet, but the Government’s position on piracy has remained consistently clear since the election of the current government. To highlight our commitment to combat and eradicate the scourge of piracy, the President of Puntland H.E. Abdirahman M. Farole declared a campaign against all forms of piracy throughout Puntland territory. The President underscored this state policy in a U.S. Congressional hearing in June 2009. The incumbent Puntland Government has arrested a large number of pirates; so far, 154 have been convicted and are serving long sentences in correctional facilities across Puntland, while 50 more are waiting for trial. Furthermore, Puntland police units continuously raid suspected pirate hideouts in major towns often leading to more arrests and the confiscation of weapons, ladders and communications gear used by pirate gangs. The incumbent administration ensures the coverage of the above-mentioned anti-piracy efforts in both local and international media; the last such coverage was as recent as the 9th day of March 2010. The Government also sponsors a social campaign designed to discredit piracy and the proceeds of the loot of the pirates also forbidden by Islamic law. Puntland’s Islamic scholars and community activists are leading this social campaign to prove that pirates have brought nothing except cultural, social and religious degradation to the Somali society. These efforts to combat pirate gangs on land have yielded success. Puntland can proudly claim that the culture of piracy is universally rejected throughout Puntland and that caused many of the pirates to move away from Puntland territory. Our anti-piracy partnerships cooperation with NATO alliance (EURONAVFOR) is well known among leading nations such us USA, France, Spain and Britain, as well as the international media. Therefore, we strongly condemn the piracy activity, not only in Somalia but also all over the world. At the same time, we strongly condemn this baseless allegation, which is a politically motivated slander and defamation of Puntland and its leadership. We believe that these derogatory remarks are made by certain elements in the IMG who have accustomed to do these shameful allegations in other organizations in the past but now have infiltrated this UN mission (International Monitoring Group). We finally request that the President of the Security Council, in the event that the accusations contained in the leaked report is authentic, to send a fact finding mission to conduct an independent and thorough investigation of these unprecedented accusations. We demand that the Security Council hold the authors of these fallacious accusations accountable for their actions. We expect from the international body (UN) not to tolerate impunity within their own organizations.

This is big news that requires a proper thread, such as this one. Its not about the sacking of an individual, but about the transformation of an important state organ.

^^ Yeah right.

The good old days. Egaal looked good and so did Edna in the pic. If Somalia had not been taken over by the silly junta we would have been in a much better shape. Oh well let's hope the war in Mogadishu becomes history now. Castro cheers for the update.

You can differ all you like Adeer. The fact is, the issue has been about land, Puntland & Galmudug are neighbours and none occupies the others land. This is the important point that needs underlining. Thus aside from false political posturing the Mudug communities have much in common.

^^^ there is no real hatred between the people and Galkacyu is a non issue.

Two young men doing a great job. Well done indeed.

100 dead thus far with little gained, though AMISOM have been in the front of the fighting this time.

The Ali Samar fiasco shows we need to move on. All Somali's seem to be hostages to the past. Let's just look forward and record these things in history so they are not repeated. Now as for these men, what will it do parading their names and giving a reason to the secessionist to continue their agenda when they have lost the argument?

Yeah another meaningless reason to divide the Somali's in the diaspora.

I think tit for tat will not help anyone. Somali's should learn to forgive each other.

You welcome brother. There are some here who are upset at this story. It does not help their deeply held clanish views of Puntland.

Abwan, if you say so Adeer. In fact no one actually cares what you hold deep down, nor where you have visisted. What matters in thisgirum is your action. You insult, anger and attempts to play down the importance of the state of Puntland is as clear as day and documented. Garowe & it's government is a fact, it has existed by the grace of Allah these past 12 years and has the support of the people. Now Zack, Adeer Puntland state of Somalia covers, Bari, Sanaag, Sool, Nugaal, Mudug, thus the state is more than 13 of Somalia land mass, as well as 50% of the coast line of Somalia. As you were lads keep complaining.
