Why?
Theres no economy in that banana state anyway.
It's especially bad in puntland due to widespread corruption and lack of thinking instigated by Mr. " fat f*ck" Gaas.Everyday I'm more suprised at how foreigners are the worst leaders, we need more localIt is a problem everywhere even in Somaliland. The drought + high inflation rates fucked up the Somali economy.
Yh the draughts were deadly. hopefully somalis start diversifying the economyIt is a problem everywhere even in Somaliland. The drought + high inflation rates fucked up the Somali economy.
el padrone as Duke said but in Puntland the situation is made worse by printing illegal shilling money. They only pay the government employees with new shiny bills and forced shop owners to accept it or face arrest as Somalia share economy and trade the old shilling Somali got mixed up with the new money printed in hidden location in Bosaso. In turn of events brcause Gaas was forcing the illegal printed money some shop owners refuse the old bills/notes. The old shilling Somali is used in Somalia so the poor people who trade with the south or have nites/bills that are old have nowhere to buy food or neccessities from. This is due to the greed and incompetencenof Gaas. He is no economist Puntland was not able to pay the salaries so they started illegally printing their own new fake currency only problem is that Puntland is not its own country and the old bills still arebin circulation with the general public.
Agreed sxb 100 pct. gaas is utter failure. once you embezzel your soldiers salary it becames a matter of national security. very grave!el padrone as Duke said but in Puntland the situation is made worse by printing illegal shilling money.

Actually they didnt refuse to pay but come short to pay them hemce the mutiny and deserted soldiers. also gaas has a personal machine to print currency under his bed. its a factThis is total nonsense, PL can pay it's army salary, do you even know what the problem is there? all the salaries of civil servants and soldiers are paid for by the world bank, that's every regional govt in Somalia. How you think Jubaland pays for it's soldiers and has no problem? the issue is Gaas told the world bank, pass the money to the govt to manage and the world bank told them go to hell because they manage the funding. Why gaas asked for that is quite obvious, corruption purposes and the world bank knew!!!
But if anyone think PL can't pay it's soldiers is just out of it's mind, why you think galmudug-koonfur galbeed-jubaland can all pay their soldiers which are much more newer administrations, it's because of the world bank and has nothing to do with the regional govt capacity!!! All the other admins in Somalia, simply followed the world bank rules, where-as PL refused to!!!

Who mentioned anythin about port? we know they get assistamce to pay their army but like everybody knows gaas embezzled this money and pays them with fake printed money which they refused.You need to go read how much the world bank pays for the regional administration!!! The idea that soldiers get pay from the port revenues is total nonsense!!! PL gets 2-3 million in revenues from the port. There is like 10-000 police/army/etc, it simply won't cover them let alone civil servants which is in the thousand range!!! World bank pays for this stuff kiddo, and the issue in PL is well known to ppl from that area!!!
Afkaaga caano geel lagu qabay! this is the truth ppl try to sweep under the carpet.The new minister holds meeting with the Bank of Puntland because he as a non diaspora knows that the situation is critical.
He states in Garowe:
Shilling is legal tender thus cannot be refused and anyone refusing old notes/bills coming from southern Somalia is a destroyer of the union of the country.
He says that Gaas administration is not refusing old Shilling Somali.
This is a catch 22 situation, Gaas will not stop printing new money. This fake money is distributed to governnent employees who have purchasing power in turn shop owners want new money because Bank of Puntland was only accepting the illegally printed money.
A vicious domino effect which has no solution because if Gaas stopped printing fake money there would be no salaries zilch not even for 7-8 months but forever.
This would result in total collapse therefore he has to artificially keep the economy alive by printing fake money.
