The issue with regards to the non payment of salary is a valid one. It’s unpardonable and I will not try to defend the admin for this. I do understand a number of issues, that money have been wasted, it was also used on the defense of the state in the mini war the country faced and also we must not overlook the great burden the TFG places on Puntland financially. The salaries have not been paid lately this is not a historical fact it’s a recent phenomenon and hence as the president said he will address as they have the security issue. Even the TFG leader admonished Cade and his group with regards to the security and the problems caused by such actions. While I acknowledge the fact I would not go as far as to say there is no government, it’s a weak a bitter reflection of the nation called Somalia.

I will try to answer your questions as best as I can. First these projects are important and essential to the future of the state, many other projects micro and macro also are required to be undertake from the public as well as the private sector, these projects are hoped to be the catalyst for a new Puntland. will these change the economic realities on the ground, yes i belive they will. The Range deal is a long term one, it’s about mapping and finding the oil & gas and other minerals of commercial value, but it will take a few more years for us to be in a position of oil exploitation . The opposition gainst this deal has not materialized the workers have been in Puntland for months now and there has not been any incidents of note even those making up such incidents and making threats have themselves become tired, and this has to be taken into consideration when one talks about the "security situation". If the locals were against this would they [RANGE] have survived this long. The other two projects are what I class as short [the livestock] and medium [ports] term projects. The livestock deal is a great move, by getting the suppliers and the buyers together in a single area you make the process more efficient and attract business to our financial centre Bossaso. Also the buyer has invested in the industry and will ensure that all legalities and certification required for the recvieving market are satisfied. No more bans on Somali meat. The port project if it materializes is a great leap forward; one has to see the effect the Dubai ports management has had on our sister city of Djibouti just as a simple example. A nomad here gave a great answer to this question, how else could we get such infrastructure projects without foreign investment and know how. Consider how many projects were carried out by the Somali state even when we had a strong central government? Two important deficiencies are overcome with these projects, getting outside capital and know how and exposing the Somali population to outsiders and new ideas. Look at Dubai as the very example, but we are a much larger country and have greater population and potential. In summary, these projects take a long time to develop, Cade has been around for 3 years had to start from scratch, made many mistake, but look at the new airport, the new quarantine and the staff of Range/African Oil on the ground. Are all these just fake or is something taking root? That’s the question I pose to you.

Bossaso port

^^^If we can get a ceasefire, everything will change insha Allah for the better. the country has a great latent energy, people want to work and live better.

Puntland Livestock Quarantine and Holding Ground Bossaso, Puntland: Mr. Hassan Khalaf Al Hasani of Gulf International Veterinary Quarantine Management Company (L.L.C.) arrived in Bossaso, Puntland.

Mr. Al Hasani will also meet with the engineers at the livestock quarantine construction site and evaluate the progress of the construction work.

Bossaso airport

As a secessionists your whole talk is just mere hot air. You have no point adeer, this was addresses to cyber warriors from the south.

^^^I think this is because they are going to discuss the security situation, ceasefire and so on. On the political side Ministers whats left of them and MP's are going.

Who is bombing Banadir, and using terror tactics? You’re again confusing yourself. I have been against the child bombers and those who wish insecurity on Puntland.

Ilahay unaxariiso... tragic news

Adeer Che you must be confusing me for someone else, I am here highlighting and pushing for the economic progress of my people and their unity, and their national statehood. You on the other hand are allergic to the North East or Puntland state and keep spreading the propoganda of the cleaning lady bombers. Adeer the people want to live in a normal state and not be tricked by some fake Jihadis and their silly cyber-warriors their utter nonsence. Who is against the Somali's and their interets a cyber warrior who fights from the comfort of his home in Boston or a man who champions their national governance and progress? Go figure

^^^You prove the point adeer, the above news has already been posted on SOL. Why post it here?

Che is somewhat confused, a bright fellow at tims, he just gets angry at any good news from Puntland.

^^^Adeer you are a comedian. Puntland is moving forward saxib, and all you do is supporting th cleaning lady bombers.. :rolleyes:

^^^Adeer I have met Somali former officers and they ahve stated the man was a full General and head of the training wing of the Somali army. Thus you have one point and I have another.

Ugu dambayntii kulankani ayaa ahaa mid ku dhamaaday jawi wanaagsan iyo isafgarasho,intaasi ka dibna waxay weftigu soo kormeereen intii aanay Garoonka Boosaaso ka dhoofin dekeda weyn ee Boosaaso,iayagoo soo idhadhanayey hawlaha ka socda dekeda,intaasi ka dibna waxa ay ka dhoofeen Garoonka Diyaaradaha ee Magalada boosaaso iyagoo ay sii gelbiyeen wasiirada Xannaanada Xoolaha,Ganacsiga iyo warfaafinta iyo weliba shirkada Extawfiiq mas’uuliyiinteeda.

^^^lool. again what an infintile comment adeer, these projects are real. Stop hating.

^^^lool. He is a full General, under the Somali army adeer, a well known officer go and read about the man instead of rushing in and making the usual anti Puntland remarks.

Che, your friends are shooting old ladies for selling eggs and their leaders in Asmara, eating raw meat. Puntland is making great strides and this is bigger than any news...

Bossaso Puntland Somalia Sea & airport project: Presdient Cade has signed an agreement with Dubai ports authority to run the sea and airports of Bossaso and a couple of other cities notably Eyl. This project is yet another example highlighting the importance that Cade and his admin have placed on getting foreign investment for the state. While we are at the early stages with regards to this initiative, one can not overlook the fact that this must have something to do with the oil and gas project for if its completed the ports and airspaces of the state will become infinitely more active and can we manage it? Not at this time.

1. the animal quarantine: Puntland admin with the help of Sultanate of Oman & the UAE & Saudi Arabia’s Al Jabari firm have built a new quarantine that will help the prospects of the livestock industry in Somalia. Putland has already sealed contracts with Algeria, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen and other Middle Eastern states to export livestocks directly. The quarantine will provide health and safety liscensing and also make it easy for the suppliers and buyers to conduct a swift business. It is the largest such project in the Horn of Africa let alone the Somali state.

1. Oil & Gas exploration : We have had many a thread on this project. It’s spearheaded by Range resources an Australian firm and by African Oil a Canadian outfit. Somalia, and in particular Puntland, remains one of the last under-explored countries that has a high potential for considerable reserves of hydrocarbons which can be subsequently developed for the benefit of both the people of Puntland and Range Shareholders The Company believes that through the generation of work and government royalties from hydrocarbon and mineral exploration and development numerous social and economic benefits will result. COMPANY PRESENTATION

The three major projects of the Cade Muse administration will insha Allah transform the state and Somalia as a whole. The Duke will go over the main projects and give you links on this thread.
