Quick question...

[Firefly]

If you were not born in Puntland, never been to Puntland, you don't believe in the idea of Puntland, but have one family member living there, are you still considered to be a Puntlander?

[Starscream]

To answer your question: Yes, absolutely yes.

Myself, being a prime example.

[Firefly]

Are you sure? I'm glad I'm not the only one.

lets see what the others say..

firefly is up2u how you feel about puntland! what you think of puntland is how you should act! dont be just a follower! have your own mind, and principles are important. but before you make any decisions unless oyu visit the place and see it yourself! then maybe you might think otherwise!

[Shilka Jr.]

i'm not from there, nor are my parents or their parents nor do I have any native Puntlanders in my family. but because of my clan, i am considered a Puntlander.

its Somalia after all, its all about C.R.E.A.M. (Clan Rules Everything Around Me)

then again...Puntland didn't exist before i was born nor was i there to see it born. no point.

hell no if that family member is your mother

[PosH]

I fall under this category, but I overcompensate by being as Pro-Puntland as possible.

Gemini07:- Yes, I've got my uncle who lives there.

Sagaashan:- hooyoyinka maxa lo diiday?

surrender:- I think I'm gonna go there this summer sis, insha-Allah.

Posh:-

So far, it seems like it doesn't matter if you were born there or have any relatives there, but it's your clan that ties you to the place, is that right?


Thanks for all your answers.

My paternal grandfather was born in Gaalkacyo, so I'm automatically Puntlander.


Nearly half of my immediate Uncles and Aunts live there, and I have been there several times....That makes a Puntlander

one of my eedos is married to the hutus in south Galkacyo (aka Galmudug) and has sons from there so she had numerous problems coming over to the other side and doing her business and just decided to settle with her new family. its hard to claim your reer abti every focking second. its all qabil, b/c when you go back its not where you At but Where your family is FROM. no one is technically from this place but all have family roots. somali is the only place where being mixed is actually curse in disguise
