Ask me anything about Puntland

[Cotton Eyed Joe]

Is it unfair for Puntland to have the longest coastline in Somalia?

How much of the 1,400sq/km is in the Sanaag side?

Also, what is the actual size of Puntland? Is it really 212,000sq/km and does that also include the disputed territories?

It's not unfair, Puntland has over 1300 kilometres of coast and if we exclude Sanaag it's at least 1000km. Without Sool and Sanaag Puntland is around 120000 km/sq.

Will PL ever see eye to eye with its neighboring states GM & SL or will there be continued conflict?

There is no conflict with Galmudug. Somaliland's conflict is a political one and will continue till the demarcation of the internal Somali borders.

Antelopes (dik dik, gazelle and beira), wild horses, ostriches, warthogs and rare sightings of leopards. It also has a large bird population.

Cool so many animals i had no idea were in Somalia. Why does no one practice hunting back home? it's a must to learn, i'm thinking of setting up a hunters club.

So with Sool and Sanaag how large is SL?

Check Wikipedia the only thing is accurate on Somaliland as it's based on borders drawn in early 1900s

What would it have been without Sool and Sanaag?

I feel cheated.

Puntland 212,510 km²

Check the Somaliland in Figures file on the Somaliland gov website. Informative and a great read...

Conflict will always persist so long Puntland arrogantly claims these 3 regions of Mudug,Sool and Sanaag.

Those regions mentioned above belongs rightfully to Somaliland and Galmudug.


P.s Lol there is an actual neef here who really believes that fake money comes from the South Somalia into Puntland when everyone under the sun knows that it's the corrupt Puntland that keeps printing fake money unbalancing the whole regions economy.

I understand bragging but an outright lie is just sickening.

They're good at deception it's pure entertain for me now kkkk.
No other clansmen have such audacity.
I laughed hard when I read that.

Most likely the conflict will continue but they can't fight, it'll become a political war and they'll try to use their wit.

One man one vote is coming, I can already see them giving oromo citizenship to boost their voting power.

Anyways.

Should Puntland seek further autonomy, if so how far should their autonomy go?

And what about financial autonomy? Fake money from the south reached PL numerous times. Is having a separate currency an option?

Puntland should maintain its autonomy, we already function as a sovereign state in all but name. A new fiat currency is not possible because it won't guarantee trust. However we live in the modern age and a solution such as cryptocurrency arises and can be launched in a few weeks now. To fight counterfeits and inflation we must move digital.

Because it's a pastoral society and hunting is looked down upon. Hunting was done by "low-caste" Somali tribes and not the nomadic ones. I doubt anyone there would want to go hunting it's not part of the culture there.

They cleaned up the thread. Good job mods

There is no rape epidemic it's the first time in Somali history issues such as rape is tackled openly. Puntland passed the first anti rape laws in the country, Somaliland of course followed suit. But unlike Somaliland, rape does not occur as a result of extreme drought. I answered the other question.

Hunting is a necessity, if these niggas knew how to hunt then they wouldn't be starving. Also it's a fun father son activity.

How do you think the integration of Las Khorey through Bosaso is going.Many people from Maakhir are often connected first to Bosaso.Also why is Puntland funding an Ceeldahir - ceerigabo road?

Do dark times await Puntland which used to be the heart of Somalia’s pirate culture,but in 2015 the pirating industry died for good and with it Puntland's economy.How will the goverment attract major companies and incentivise small businesses to generate revenue and create jobs?

The second biggest project to be implemented in PL in the past 25 years was one road and reported to cost 6 million,sponsored by the EU through a Germany based organisation,GIZ.How can the PL goverment afford any of the projects you proposed they should start in SSC?Where is the money coming from?

Is economic development even possible in Puntland after relying on the pirating industry for decades?

Puntland is funding the road to better integrate all regions of the country particularly to the economic hub of Bosaso. Las Qoray is not getting a new road to Bosaso it's Ceel Daahir to Ceerigaabo. More equipment arrived 2 weeks ago to coat the surface with asphalt.

How do you rate Gaas' presidency on a scale 1-10? Can you also give us an analysis on his presidency? Would you support his reelection?
