But, withdrawal from the TFG only means that the elders no longer stake support in it. It doesn't mean that the hungry Ciise Maxamuud youth still won't serve in the army and the locals still won't pay their tiny taxes.
And anyway, is it fair that a large chunk of Puntland peoples' resources go to a dead-end organization that's based halfway across the country? How many Ciise Maxamuud men have died thus far in Xamar, they alone comprise upwards of 30% of the TFG casualties.
Those that still believe the TFG is a good place to stake one's money are mentally retarded and should go finger their gay mothers immediately.
