I must say that i was watching the Puntland President washington travels and he has done well and played his cards very well. Their will be great rewards to come from this and the support that the united states has shown Puntland is very evident. So-mafi-land got slapped the hell up by the congressional hearing and already Donald Payne threat to sland to isolate them is happening as we speak. The united nations has cutt ties with sland in response you can verify that here and the african union is looking at taking measures and infact what is even funnier is that this was all done under foreign minister approval who is hargeisawi...U can verify here..http://www.riinji.com/full.php?id=5034,
And who knows inshallah the arab league will cutt livestock trade with them also to further punish them and later on trade sanctions.
But the point is not just Donald Payne Slapping of sland which was excellent, but the important part is if u listen to his words carefully he said he will support "Puntland Somalia and the Federal Dream"....Puntland has good ally and this Donald Payne was selected by all congress to preside over the hearing on the issue.
So Puntland has just won congress support...congress support means government support...because the majority party in congress is the government...
Anyways watch Donald Payne hearing here to verify what i say...
