This is the reality on the ground. some hutu kids believe they know all about galkacyo.I would advice them to go there they would realise from south to north it's puntland controlled . With galmudug Only there for pretence.Xamud. wrote:The young man is Yacquub Abdalla rageediHe's a Puntlander and he's the deputy Mayor of Gaalkacyo but he basically runs the place now, he along with the Governor of Mudug Mr Tigay are the ones pulling all the stunts, the mayor of Gaalkacyo waa AWOL gor aan arko gormee igu danbeysay.
The population of Gaalkacyo is 150-175k at most, and this is including the surrounding villages. Somalis tend to exaggerate when it comes to numbers.
As for how Gaalkacyo is split, Puntland is in control of both checkpoints and the airport, I would say roughly 80% of the city is controlled by Puntland, laakin wax division oo run ah majiro in terms of business, things are not as bad as they use to be, I think people are finally realizing that co-existence is the only way forward.
