Tonight the last authority in Puntland that have the last word on any dispute came together to talk about the dispute and handing over of the port and conflict between the administration and businessmen.
Boqor I do have a large influence in Puntland and my presence is felt by all thanks for asking though.
The good thing about Puntland is they have an traditional hierarchy to settle disputes.
The titles has the King on top followed by Sultan, Garaad, Islaan, Ugaas, Beeldaaje, Baashi and they settle most hardened disputes and are the final and last authority.
Everything that cannot be solved goes back to them.
My problem with traditional clan leadership is that they're hereditary. A brilliant and brave suldaan/ugaas/boqor/islaan/malaaq/garaad/beeldaaje can have a coward and idiot for a son. I believe in meritocracy and dislike hereditary forms of power transfer, whether in the political arena (eg monarchies) or traditional clan arena.
The issimo present are King of Darood, Sultan of Harti and Warsangeli Suldaan Siciid Suldaan Cabdisalaan, Ugaas of Deshiishe, Beeldaaje Cali Faarax of Cali Jibraaiil etc
