*Great pics, the blue flag Is right there in the capital of Cayn in the heart of Buhudle. Well done & power to the people.

Nothing has happened the late mans boss is in talks with Al Shabab right now.

^^^Yeah you are a cross between Nelson Mandela & Bill Gates.

^^^You are forgiven lad, the confusion at times can be related to other social ills, hope everything is ok with your person.

^^^Adeer this is not the news section.

Che, adeer in every state, you will get varied desperate opinions, at times contradictory and opposing. Some individuals will support the admin blindly, others oppose the admin at all cost and would like to overplay any mistakes or missteps they make. I am not interested in men, or their admins, what matters to me is the state of Puntland. In the difficult war years, Putnland was hope to many of us. It is imperfect and with each admin, it will improve. The arguments here if they were sincere, I would have addressed them, however its shameful to use the suffering of these Somali’s in order to score political points. The people who were stoned, beheaded, chased from their homes by the AL Shabaab, were not less Somali’s nor did they receive justice. Lets be realistic and honest, we will reach our goal.

^^^As usual you open your mouth to highlight that you are not a Somali from Puntland as you claim. keep it up

Che, you go through great lengths to shame and insult Puntland. That’s understandable. However how can one reason with you when you have already made up your mind? You who calls my beloved state “Whore land” wants to be taken seriously? However I shall try my best to address your points. Puntland has welcomed, more Somali’s from other regions than any other Somali state. The people who have moved there and build a life in the state include thousands from Western occupied Somalia. You will never admit that this is the case, nor note the important step the admins of the state has taken to make this a reality. Its unacceptable for any innocent Somali to be mistreated, its not something that I have ever supported. Indeed a miscarriage of justice might happen at times, however it does not underline not is it a reflection of the values of the state of Puntland. The important issue here is not if Puntland admin has erred, if Faroole has made a huge gaffe in his statement. The issue here is the unfair and hideous picture that Che, A&T & Ibti just to name a few, want to paint of the state.

think Malika is talking your responsibility My personal responsability ? I do love them, and have attended a few meetings of theirs, wonderful folks. However the liberation movement has failed, because its based on the wishes of a single clan of the state, thats a weakness which they must address more than what wrongs Somaliland, or Puntland has done them

^^The Duke is not bothered by them. The secessionist have always been the most ludicrous of groups. How can you split the Somali people up? However the people of NW Somalia are wonderful, I have said that many times, but they only read what they want.

^^^Indeed, thats the big dilema. If they convinced the people as well as the Somali admin in Jig-Jiga, and other parts of the state, then they would go along way to getting victory. So far they have done a bad job uniting the Somali's of Western Somalia. I suggest getting rid of the clan name for the movement as a start. what do you think?

^^^We agree on many things you & I.

^^^Be carefull what you wish for adeer, you might not like the result. As for the freedom fighters, may they win their victory over Ethiopian occupation insha Allah.

^^^Thats great adeer, Somali's must help fellow Somalis.

^^^No problem brother, maybe you meant it in a different way. I am in to Somali Politics, but clan politics is an all together different monster, one which I am not fond off. Next time, just ask me what I hold true and dont assume things.

^^^lool. That exchange, a sure example of uniting the Ummah & loving the Somali's. After all that Qabil love fest, the best line goes to Ibti at the end... FYI: I don't need to make myself feel better about anything, I am quit clear on where I stand on Qabil. Indeed, we are all quite clear where you stand about Qabil specially the folks who inhabit "Puntiland" or Pirates as you call them..

Don’t describe your puntland as a paradise for Somalis from other regions I did not, adeer the trader who found success in Puntland above can speak for himself.

STOIC: Brother with all due respect, insulting someone is not the same as giving "brotherly advice", but hey what ever makes you feel important I guess.

^^^I agree with you, the mob rule does not work in Puntland, the admin calmed the situation and the people are not harmed in any way. As the story aboves states, most of those news reports were hyped up by people with a certain political agenda.

STOIC: Adeer you are wrong, I grew up in East London, as for the rest of your comments, nothing new or innovative here lad. The same personal attacks will not do. I don’t breath, or live clan, that’s ludicrous. Did you mistake me for the individual who hates the Somali flag, the capital and who spends their adult life, romanticizing the British colonial experience all because of some weak clan inferiority complex? Oh no adeer that’s not me.

Xaji Xunduf, adeer the story proves how bankrupt your arguments are. In clan terms those from Western Somalia are closer in blood to Faroole, than those from Bay, yet again read the story. Only in Puntland adeer.

^^^Adeer, Puntland, due to its people & admin has become a safe haven for many Somali's from all different regions.

^^^You are right, the Queen your alleged Mother is the one you need to convince, Rageh Omaar is not that important right?

“I am married with four daughters. By the grace of God, I am now able to take care of them and provide a comfortable life. We don’t depend on anyone else. My first daughter is six years old and is about to start school. “I may eventually go back to Baidoa if the situation improves but I will never cut my ties to Bosasso. It is where I became a man. Bosasso is now home and I am happy to be here.” The truth is all inspiring, and powerful.
