I see brighter days with Faroole.

Unlike AY, he's not using Puntland to advance his personal political agenda. He's in fact empowering Puntland internally and strengthening its topdog position in southern politics by playing hardball.

God blessed you with good geography. Surrounded by water on three sides and Hartis on the other. Don't to do schit with all the assorted characters in the south.

We will give lands in Gedo for agricultural production if you give us settlements in Puntland, principally coastal areas.

Be happy with what ALLAH gave your people

Whats this talk about Adeer


Puntland cannot be compared with anywhere in the South due to so many factors. Its basically Bari,Nugaal, and half of Mudug if I'm not mistaken. Its inhabited by one clan (primairly) and it doesn't border Ethiopia directly thus explaining lack of physical interference by Ethiopians. On top of that the civil war never passed Galkacyo, and the region never any war as there isn't any warring clans battling over prime realestate. Furthormore there neighbors with another peaceful state Somaliand so they ofcourse have incentive to compete with them. To their credit though they did a fabulous job taking care of business.


Marexaan decided to move South so theres no point running away When the going gets tough

This is nothing about going gets tough, this is pure business.

Majeerteen geography is their biggest asset.

Surrounded by water on three sides and Hartis on the other.

They don't have to waste a single dime on security.

Now look at Marehan.

95% of our capital as been on defense. Fighting Hawiye, Raxanweyn, for Kismaayo, Ethiopians and even Oromo and Bantu Kenya!

We would be better off if our ancestors stayed in Bender Ziyade. Now Bari would still be ours.

you are mistaken.

kismayo and the surrounding provinces were a much greater prize.

large sea port,longest airport runway in east africa,highway conecting with all of the south,including mogadishu,fertile farmlands and river,beatiful coastline for fishing and tourism,border with kenya for trade etc.

all of these significant economic factors were rendered worthless,because for over 15 years moryaan(primarily morgan/barre hirale), fought for the right to tax the people.

what should have been a boom time for the region and people,turned into the stuff of nightmares and famine time.

so you see,it`s not just about natural endowments,rather a RESPONSIBLE leadership.

Faroole is just what we needed.

I said over a year ago that Ciise Maxamud were the cure for Puntland. Of course it was obvious, though.

He did nothing spectacular,

He will only deserve my respect when he starts either paving one of the main cities or builds some mega projects (renewing the port etc).

So far Cadde Muuse is still ahead of him in things done for Puntland.

Faroole

Don't forget he forgave 66 model prisoners and gave them money plus refused to hire Qaad or Alcohol abusers

He freed convicts and gave them money on top of that Riyooley waxiid

The prisoners had to be cisse riyoole, in his mind, his people cannot do no wrong
