His initial travel to Addis was to convince them to give him the green-light to attack Laascaanood but after being struck down he has come up with a plan B.
Punland right now is in a state of Alshaytan emergency which some say is infiltrating in high numbers compared to previous few. He is proposing a buffer zone that means Galmudug
struck down? sanaag, sool and cayn are in puntland constitution's territorial integrity. ethiopia nor the west can change that. ethiopia is going to mass it's troops in southern mudug, essentially cutting off any al shabaab attempts in crossing into puntland from it's southern border, leaving puntland to secure it's shores and western border.
What did puntland ever do for laascaanod, dhulos are better off with sl then with their mj cousins. Lol,even cagdheer wont support puntland coz amhara controls them. Puntland has no chance against Somaliland because they can't even beat hg and lelkaase let alone Somaliland.
stop being a tease and get on with it..
This is SL's message to puntland.
The reailty is that this is all talk, gas would never dare to move against us, which is a shame, this is exactly what the SL military have been waiting for.
They cannot touch khatumo or any dhulos because it destabalizes the relationship with pro-somaliland dhulos.
If large numbers of your clan are killed you will get mad and change sides very quickly, and with a united dhulos rebellion, SL will not contest and pack its bags and leave Lascanood ASAP.
Now fighting a war with Puntland does not cause any such problems and the SL millitary has a green light on one condition, we do not have the training or the logisitcal support to invade puntland.
Surely garowe will fall the highway between Bossaso and and the south will be interdicted, but humiliation makes people fight harder, and a protracted struggle will see us retreat back with heavily losses.
The Ethiopian would show their displeasure and cut off our supplies of ammo forcing us to pay double the price from imports in berbera.
But a puntland adventure is perfect, its just what everyone in SL is waiting for and hoping for, the condition is that puntland has to attack lascanood first.
but you are a tease you will not do anything and we are tired of your teasing.
All i know is he has been told to forget about SSC even if it's temporary and instead concentrated on Alshaytan. My Q is how in his right mind does he think he can turn Galmudug into a buffer
ssc waa and recognition of s/l as a sovereign nation is inevitable based on us being the successor state to the 'state of somaliland' in 1960 which itself succeeded the british somaliland protectorate
