You 've overplayed your hand , my friend :mrgreen:
Your being silly and your lack of knowledge in the region is showing, Xarardheere and ceeldheere were not part of Galmudug at that time only a few number of piracy foot soldiers were from Ximan iyo Xeeb the fast majority were from bari, they were funded by faroole as the UN monitoring report showed, he provided the boats and intel and helped launder the money, here you have the majerteen elders accuse them

Report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia pursuant to Security Council resolution 1853 (2008)
Excerpts from Part III & IV of the report
Piracy and the Puntland administration
In contrast with central Somalia, where piracy may be accurately described as a product of statelessness and warlordism, in north-eastern Somalia it benefits from the patronage and protection of State institutions. After 12 years of relatively positive evolution in Puntland, the newly established administration of Abdirahman Mohamed “Faroole” is nudging Puntland in the direction of becoming a criminal State. Monitoring Group investigations, involving interviews with sources possessing first-hand knowledge of piracy operations, ransom negotiations and/or payments, have confirmed that senior Puntland officials, including President Faroole and members of his Cabinet, notably the Minister of the Interior, General Abdullahi Ahmed Jama “Ilkajiir” (see case study 3 below) and the Minister for Internal Security, General Abdillahi Sa`iid Samatar, have received proceeds from piracy and/or kidnapping.
There have been some indications during the course of the mandate that Puntland has made increased efforts in the battle against piracy. During the course of 2009, President Abdirahman Mohamed “Faroole” has publicly condemned piracy on several occasions and the authorities have arrested and convicted a number of pirates, seizing weapons and equipment. In spite of these gestures, however, pirate activity off the coast of Puntland has increased, senior pirate leaders remain at liberty and without apparent fear of arrest, and in some cases the Puntland authorities have extended protection to pirate militias.
