Warlords acted within the interests of their qabil where nowadays you have POS and low energy fucks doing whatever the foreign state actors wants. I don't consider both good but one is a worse evil to the sovereignty of somalia
A lie Somalis like to tell one another is that all of their politicians are the same. It is not true. Politicians from Puntland always put the interest of Puntland first, even if it goes againt the interest of all other regions. Polticians from Puntland cannot be bought to go directly against the interests of Puntland, it is what makes us different. My politicians will be corrupt, but will never sell me out. They will go that extra mile to further my interest. Your politicians will be corrupt and will sell you out. I don't stay awake at night worrying that Faroole will be bought to undermine Puntland, I know he is incorruptible in that respect.
This is the leg up Puntland has on the rest of Koonfur, and it is what drives Hawiye like you raving mad.
