So where is the old man going to retire to? It is safe to assume he will not stay in Somaliland.

I have big a afro. It so happens to be on my face. I think they call it gar in Soomaali.

Blue is our resident expert on health and lifestyle issues. I think SOL owners should establish a health section managed by Blue.

Where's Oodweyne in there?

How is this a news, Mooge? And why mention her race?

I didn't know that either. I am assuming that stopped when Siyad Barre took over. Does one need carry permits in Canada?

Gheele.T The price was 452 millions.

I do believe he lives in Qatar under that government's protection. They tried to work out similar deals for Sheikh Hassan Dahir and Sheikh Roobow but it didn't work out. In any case, Atom has no operational or intelligence value. He is not scholarly either. It makes no sense. Atom was just gun runner not ideologue or strategist.

There are everything you say but I am wondering how did Atom get on there?

4. Mohammed Ali Saeed Atm

Curiously enough, Sheikh Atom is in the list.

This is the same company that was supposed to build Bosaso Port? https://www.garoweonline.com/en/news/puntland/somalia-puntland-launches-bossaso-port-expansion-project

That's defeatist.

Galbeedi, I don't see Samatar and Galeyr doing anything. They are failed politicians. They are not threat to anyone.

Odiga still got it :-)

Mooge, Since it is MPs that will pick the President: Puntland, at the very least, should elect MPs. I would agree direct presidential elections is bad idea for Puntland but I do think municipal and parliament elections can be done.

Whether he took a bribe or not, at this point, it makes no sense for him to be there. So, Mooge, when is Gaas's promised multiparty election? Or is still in the air racking his frequent flyer miles?

Now this is all over. Faysal Warabe should perhaps step aside and let younger folks to lead UCID.

Let's hope not. It is a time for them to move on.

That's unfortunate. At this point, hopefully, he will swallow his pride and move on. There will always be another election.

If you bombard us with Sland politics on SOMALIAonline, then we can discuss whatever we want. And we are not ones disputing the elections. Your people are. In any case, the election campaign and even election day went well till things went off the rails.

Good luck? There isn't any luck involved here. It is high robbery if Musa is crowned. By way, with children voting, I don't think reer Waqooyi can pejoratively use the term Walaweyn when it comes to elections.

MMA, The damage has been done either way. Farmaajo has a chance to turn this around. The October 14 attack presented an opportunity to exercise his leadership but he failed. Lack of skill and experience are failing him.

LSK, I always thought the reason they awarded this Turkish company was to entice Turks to invest in Puntland. It seems that hasn't materialized. Puntland should continue putting more emphasis on the Chinese. Let's hope CCECC does build Galkayo Airport and Garowe-Eyl Road.
