The ship is in Bosaso as we speak... smh

 

This obsession with Puntland on the part of secessionists is unflattering at this point, always the same users posting stuff about Puntland... Even as this election debacle happened people on the Puntland side were mostly silent yet you guys still obsess over PUNTLAND, and over what? Oh wait, I already know the answer..

 

Here, buy a life.

So we own the "Reuters" now ??? ............... Waar way duushay hadaaa

[Somalia]

No, but you own a keyboard and a mouse, and you are the one with a track record of posting stuff related to Puntland. It was flattering at first but now it's certifiably an obsession.

 

I suggest you take that coin I offered and think over why are you obsessed?

[AYOUB]

^ As usual, blame the secessionists. At least The Imam's website doesn't pretend nothing happened...

North Korea-Flagged Ship Returning to Bossaso Port

 

20 December 2012 , Source:

Garowe Online

Bossaso, Somalia

An impounded North Korean ship captured dumping cement into Puntland waters last month, was hijacked and is heading back to Bossaso port, Garowe Online reports.

 

Security forces guarding the North Korean-flagged vessel MV Daesan impounded on Nov. 17, 2012, at the Bossaso port were involved in the hijacking of the ship and the crew on the vessel late Tuesday night.

 

According to local sources, after a work shift change a team of 8 soldiers decided to hijack the ship and its crew of 33. After hijacking the ship and traveling for some hours and faced incidents the hijackers argued amongst themselves because some members argued over their decision.

 

The sources said that after the sequence of extraordinary events some of the men regretted the hijacking.

 

Continuing, the sources said that after heated debates and negotiations done by Puntland authorities, the rogue security forces decided to return the ship to Puntland authorities and contacted Puntland security officials of their decision.

 

Puntland security officials told GO, that there are two Puntland coast guard boats chaperoning the MV Daesan back into Puntland waters where the case over the dumping of cement is still ongoing at the local court.

 

Puntland authorities caught the MV Daesan while it was dumping 5,000 metric tons of cement 13 nautical miles east of Bossaso coast. According to authorities the ship is expected at Bossaso port Thursday morning and the case will continue in court.

 

Puntland authorities told GO that they are conducting an investigation of the hijacking Tuesday night and there are leads that suggest Somali pirates were involved in the attempted hijacking.

 

Puntland officials have also been engaged in a standoff with pirates off the coast of Gara'ad town in Mudug region since Dec. 10. Puntland Maritime Police Force (PMPF) attempted to rescue the 22 hostages of the MV Iceberg 1 vessel last week and Puntland forces have enforced a blockade on the ship.

 

According to Puntland security sources, the MV Daesan hijacking was a diversion plot by Somali pirates to ease pressure off the MV Iceberg 1 vessel, which remains under a blockade for the past 10 days.

 

Piracy off the coast of Somalia has hit its lowest level in recent years for 2012. Outgoing NATO Commander of the Ocean Shield anti-piracy force stated this week that although pirate attacks have plunged that the pressure should not be let up.

AYOUB, who pretended it didn't happen? I just questioned the obsession.

[xiinfaniin]

Not a big deal, some soldiers went rogue ...

 

This incident some how fits in Ayoub's conviction of what Puntland is all about ,

[Che -Guevara]

Aw Xiin...I think the important questions are, what does the incident affect and how does anything?

[xiinfaniin]

^^Che,

 

In the big picture , this one time incident of soldiers turning into hijackers should not have any affect as long it is handled properly. From what I can see, it is being handled by Puntland admin.

 

Of course Ayoub and co will milk this one endlessly as it fits their characterization of Puntland as a pirate state

[AYOUB]

^ You let me down. I had faith in you not to ship blame elsewhere. The characterisation is caused by pirates not me or the Koreans. Don't know what you meant by "if handled properly" but this quote from Imam Farole's website sums it up for me.

Che, now you're talking. Were you waiting for Dr Xiin - our high seas' expert to confirm it first.

[xiinfaniin]

^^Ayoub, you are easy to disappoint . Your belief of Puntland as a pirate state is quite profound , and xiinfaniin of all people shall never attempt to change such a deep seated perception ...

 

But I must admit this type of incident does not help

[AYOUB]

^ Well it's about dhaqaale and perceptions are not that important I suppose. How would you balance the PL 2013 budget? Care to shade some light on your "handling things properly" plan, Dr. ?

[xiinfaniin]

^^Well for a man who believes Puntland is a pirate cartel , talking about budgets is not a serious proposition

[AYOUB]

^ What about your "handling things" plan Dr.?
