HIIRAAN GOVERNOR ‘TWISTS’ PRESIDENT DENI’S WORDS

owhar ( PPM) — The Governor of Hiiraan Mr Ali Jayte Osman urged Puntland President to rethink an instruction to Puntland traders to reduce the volume of commodities they market to other Somali regions. Mr Jayte criticised President for calling on local businesses to limit trade relations with Somali regions during the health emergency brought on by Covid-19.


Hiiraan is one of the regions whose agricultural products constitute a large segment of Puntland economy. Hiiraan Governor said Puntland levies steep tax on products from Hiiraan. “Bosaso Port is a national Port. It is not a property of Puntland’s” Jayte said. “Hiiraan will stop selling agricultural products to Puntland and its traders will begin to rely on other ports if President Deni does not change his mind on limiting trade with Hiiraan” he added.

In a speech to Puntland State businesses last week President Said Abdullahi Deni explained why he had accepted the judgement of business leaders in Puntland who “assured us that there will not be commodity shortages” despite marketing goods and commodities from Puntland to other regions in Somalia. President Deni surmised that emerging but unsubstantiated inflationary trends in Puntland result from commodity shortages. President Deni has warned against profiteering from the health emergency. “Inflation happens when there is less supply for the demand” President Deni said while implying food and commodities marketed to other Somali regions have caused inflationary pressures in Puntland. “Some traders may be tempted to exploit the situation either by raising prices or hoarding commodities ” says Mowlid Ali, an economist in Bosaso.

Some business leaders have accused President Deni of making a wrong economic case for rationing. “The Government should not use fiat to make decisions with serious economic consequences. It should consult economists” says a Garowe-based businesswoman, who buys agricultural products from Hiiraan and Middle Shabelle regions.

Puntland Post contacted Puntland State Minister for Commerce Abdullahi Abdi Hersi but was not available to comment. “The Governor of Hiiraan has twisted the words of President Deni, whom we assured of the availablity of enough stock of different commodities and goods and that trade with Somali regions will not lead to food shortages in Puntland.

President Deni cannot stop us from trading with Somali regions” said a member of Puntland Chamber of Commerce, who prefers anonymity.

Jeyte is right. They need hiiraan not the other way round. It is ridiculous anyways why people from hirshabelle use bosaso as a main port it is way too far. Inshallah after hobyo port is completed this won’t be an issue

We’ll see how it goes. It’s being built by businessmen from Sool so it‘ll probably take longer than planned.

Interesting that he thinks he can threaten PL. There is a reason why they have to use Bosaso and it isn’t a choice, while PL can easily purchase its food from elsewhere.

Deni is completely in the right, he’s looking after his people. Hiraan isn’t apart of PL so I’m not sure why they feel like they have a say in our internal affairs.

 

[Adaawe]

All I know is as a N&N supporter, I’m loving seeing two of the least popular, most reviled politicians being the face of the jagodoon oops meant ‘mucaarad’ in Cabdishakir and Pillsbury Deni. Please carry on, you’re making the job easier

I love it. They are the best the opposition can come with. Incompetence personified.

We need dry ports in Beledweyne & Baydhabo connecting to Berbera too. Can’t let dhulos be the only ones we benefit

The delusions of the desert shithole

A gaajo irrelevant man is calling others desert shithole, amazing.

 

[Bohol]

This is why Hobyo port is so important.

Or Ceel macan in Middle Shabeele.

 

[Galool]

It's terrible of Puntland to be closing off food exports to Hiiraan that's just been affected by floods when Hiiraan has been exporting food to PL for decades

 

[Capo Dhoore]

The delusions of the desert shithole

That "desert shithole "has great potential and a increasing amount of farms . We dont need to rely on hiraan. Puntland should invest more in its agriculture

 

[Murax]

Or Ceel macan in Middle Shabeele.

Yea but there is already momentum with the Hobyo port. Granted its really just talk for now, but still there are signed agreements between FGS, Qatar regarding this.

 

[GBTarmy]

Why are you idiots obsessed with what PL does? Hiiraan thinks it's part of PL but it's not, Deni is not their president. They rely on us always saving them and they think they can weaponize fruits against us lol we can import from elsewhere.

 

[GBTarmy]

Go use another port then asshole, who is holding a gun on thier head to use Bosaso? Deni was talking against PL business people hoarding items.

They feel entitled, everyone does they think PL is a everyone can use. No one even mentioned Hiiraan. Deni just said the business people should think about the poor in PL during this hard time

This is why we need PIM - they need us more than we need them - Somalinimo is a burden to us.

 

[Engineer]
