This will be a big event inshaAllah, there has been a great dal of change over the past few years. The Puntland identity has grown in importance within the Diaspora. So far the PDF is doing a good job.

One thing I never understood is, can one country not have good parts and bad? Like why pretend it's impossible, you have good parts and bad parts of the US or UK. Why not highlight that Mogadishu with all it's recent issues is the same country as Hargaysa with it's recent success? Lazy reporting really, most of them just plagarise the last person who went there.

Mudane MCheese is right, this political deadlock seems to be ending with a another Riyaale victory over common sense. Siilanyo is a good man and should stay away from anyhing that would cause conflict in those regions.

^^^Even the rain makes you upset, you need help adeer. The regions were facing a devestating drought and even these rains might not help the rural communities.

^^^Mr Badiyo, you are either not what you claim or are ill informed. As I have stated before you are out of your depth, in the first instance you try and divide brothers, literally families who share the same line. Then you state it’s a regional issue and there is some difference between the people of Mudug, Nugaal & Bari. With all crackpots you present not a single shred of proof. Now again like I said, the city of Burtinle which I have relatives in has the exact same make up as Galkacyu, one is in Mudug the other Nugaal do the inhabitants of this city have different culture and mindsets>? Also lad, this whole topic was done in anger, yes these types of things happen, in an IDP camp but no its not a reflection of the people of the city who have hosted & housed thousands upon thousands of fellow Somali’s out of respect for their people.

^^^Again you uttering bare nonsense. Can you tell us how you measured the mindset of the people of Galkacyu or Mudug? Also note and again a little education the second largest twon in Nugaal is Burtinle and has the same population as Galkacyu. Go answer the Q, ya patriotic Puntlander who is insulting the second largest and most important city of that state.

^^^First of all gett the contradiction out of your system. If reer Galkacyu are rapist then you are a rapist since they are your people. Dont get it confused my boy, as I have said before there is no difference what so ever between reer Qhardo & Galkacyu, same language, culture, religion and even last name. So think before you try to make a point.

^^^You are contradicting yourself adeer. Galkacyu is as you say the second largest city in Puntland, and economicly the second richest city in Puntland. It has faced many issues, and has a new admin, insha Allah it will get better. This topic is tragic, yes and needs to be dealt with but Galkacyu dear boy is a booming town of business and its education sector is doing great. More need to be done but dont underplay the importance of this city to all of Puntland.

Originally posted by Cowke: Duke noone refuses that qardho is apart of farole domain and our leader is farole and we are very proud of that fact. Anyone who says otherwise is not speaking on the interest of qardho but speaking on their own interests. All the qardho ulama, waxgarads, isimo, etc have pledged their support to puntland and it will remain so forever regardless who the leader is or not. Nice one Mr Badiyo Now tell that to Sayid#Somali who is angry, and thinks Qhardo is not part of Puntland but a seperate Kingdom hostile to everyone else.

^^^lool. Sayid Somali: You are getting angry unable to comprehend the topic of the threat. Go get help Qhardo is part of Faroole’s domain regardless of what you say. Let me get you even madder Dr Faroole & VP in Qhardo. Horseedmedia

Poor attempt at an attack. First of all as a Somali who loves the state of Puntland I will not attack any of our towns, cities and dwellings. For a fact I know you are not what you pretend to be. Let me help address some of your ignorance. These criminal acts took place in an IDP refugee camp as the article states. Its unacceptable and must be addressed by the community as a whole. However the city of Glakacyu is the second largest in terms of population and economic activity. The fact that in 2009 its schools out performed every other city including the capital Garowe, & Bossaso also is a rebuke to your claims made here. Again young man try again, for you seem angry and out of touch.

Cowke & Sayid Somali : You are suffering from some deep seated inferiority complex. First of all Qhardo is a city in Puntland and no more than that. As Dr Faroole trip highlights it’s a peaceful part of the state and comes under the rule of the administration in Graowe. Second you do sound asinine to make complaints in this thread that 1. Does not attack the people of Qhardo.2 is not even talking about the clans of Qhardo. The fact that you are making attacks and positing pictures of important Puntland individuals, for no reason highlights that you both have deep issues that need the urgent attention medical attention.

The President of Puntland had a fruitfull short stop in Qhardo before he moved on to the city of Bossaso. This is the topic lads lets not act like reer Badiyo while claiming to be kings.

^^^^Yup and they are one father away from the clans of Mudug & Nugaal. You are genius from Badiyo. I give you that.

Cowke adeer you did not get the jist of it, go back and read. Let me make it simple for you lad, there is no difference between the clans that inhabit, Galkacyu to Burtinle to Goldogo to Jariban & Garacad and the clan that inhabits Qhardo. No difference at all saxib. They are but one family. Those who think that there is a major difference and highlight it here as you do , need help. As for the King, thata a nice title, but the power of the state is in the Presidency which happens to be held by Dr Faroole. Lads you are becoming weak, and I have no idea what you are missing at this time to make such snide comments.

To the man who has fallen into the abyss, adeer the Qhardo you claim is but a dot on the landscape that is Puntland. You seem to be angry about something and actually belive other communities of Puntland somehow have an enmity towards the sub group that dwels in Qhardo. You suffer from an incurable symptom of clan hate and I hope you get better. As for the President of Puntland, he was welcomed by the people of Qhardo, Karkar, elders and political leaders lined up and saluted him. Thus go and cry the crocodile tears of a confused soul.

^^^You are right that the major companies think its risky, much like they did in Yemen. However small firms like Range & Africa Oil[which is backed up by the Lundin group] are making the bet that they can reap great rewards. Also these firms know something the average Joe does not, which is there is Oil in Puntland Somalia.
