Recently a Puntland contigent under Col. Jimcaale Takar set up in Tukaraq some 80km from the capital Garoowe. Being no strangers as the mayor of Tukaraq pointed out made it clear that when they were there in the past, they had enjoyed support from nomads but that these nomads were destitue now and that they shoul not rely on them for their provision.
Some blew it up but today after the new finance minister visited Col. Jimcaale clearly stated that there are not there to cause aggression or attack anyone but solely for defence purposes.
The new minister who is someone who did not leave the country told them that he will provide for them as much as he could and if he is not able then they should be patient as they have been before.
Tukarak is 65 km from the Somaliland border and the custom point for Puntland. Garoowe the capital of Puntland is 15km away from the border of Somaliland according to Somaliland.
