Sxb be honest, if not with anyone else, then with yourself. "I don't want to be part of your administration, but I want to have access to your ports and resources for free" ma soconeeso. If anything, you're going to have to compensate either the Somaliland admin or Puntland admin for access to the Berbera/Boosaaso/Laasqoray ports. And that's not because we in Puntland want to see you fail or we want to make life harder on you...if you're under the Puntland administration, you pay taxes to it and contribute to it's economy. If not, you pay money to use it's resources since you've chosen to not come under it.1nemansquad wrote:So basically what your saying is if Dhulbahante doesn't want to be part of the Majeerteen administration then they wont have access to Lasqorey or Bosaso ports; that is your bargaining chip?

Essentially what these maamul goboleeds are for is to secure a political and geographic isolation and pocket of security for the clans they serve. Without adequate roads (Sool has poor quality roads) and markets or even sea access, Sool is locking itself in for the worse not the better. Puntland locked itself away to hold onto some of Somalia's best sea access, transportation infrastructure, water & land resources; Sool doesn't have any of those except maybe a few land resources, which can't be used without a port or proper roads.1nemansquad wrote:paidmonk, If Dhulbahante really wants to make it work, then it will work inshaállah. I didn't go against your idea of having a regional administration that serves your purpose, don't go against mine. Or instead of Idoors, you will be my enemy.
What I'm saying is that SSC can't work physically. Why do you think Dulbahante elders are strongly involved in the two administrations, purely to take advantage of the resources in those areas to develop their areas. If Puntland was the size of Galmudug, MJs would definitely take advantage of the nearest commercial hub. Point blank period, SSC wont' work, ever, not because Paidmonk says so but because of physical limitations. That's it.
But at the end of the day, there is no point in me to honor a phantom called SSC. Those SSC areas like Buuhoodle, Taleex, and Widh Widh are part of Puntland state and Lascanood will be reverted back soon.
This here is the mentality of most Majeerteens Udun, there you go; waxba hanoo shegin, stop being a clown mate or better yet say whatever you like.
If SSC thinks it can survive without a port or abundance of natural resources, you're deluding yourself....you guys don't have the resources required for economic sustainability. Very limited physical capital, technological capital, human capital and natural resources. Having your own administration is not feasible based on willpower and desire alone, you need to have means of production for economic productivity, which you guys aren't in a strategic enough location for. Ma aha "I'm gonna build a maamul goboleed out of pride", cuz pride comes before a fall and without being allied with an administration with the means to develop your resources, you're gonna be in for a rude awakening.
Don't take this as a knock on Dhullos or SSC, but rather, constructive criticism
kids.
