Puntland The Next Isis Stronghold?

[sgfrmtheblock]

A militant faction loyal to Islamic State (IS) has increased its following in northern Somalia from a few dozen last year to up to 200 this year, a U.N. report said, days after the group came under U.S. air attack for the first time.

The increase in strength of the IS spin-off group has attracted attention because some security officials fear it could offer a safe haven for Islamic State militants fleeing military defeat in Syria or Iraq.

This statement is really scary, IS are enduring a heavy defeat across Iraq & Syria, Somalia could be their next stronghold. I can see IS leadership send their leftover soldiers and ship them to the north of Puntland to continue their campaign. They have already received large shipments of soldiers and weapons in the last few months, with our largely unprotected coast it isnt really that hard.What can we do to defeat them. They all hide in caves much like the Houthis in Yemen and the Taliban.

Puntland should nip this in the bud before it has a "Coalition" intervention that bombs everything that moves.

Honestly how hard can it be to exterminate 200-300 cavemen before the whole western world starts bombing us into oblivion

Puntland has a strong clan identity. We will literally eat them alive if they ever come down from those mountains. All of Alshabab can invade Puntland and they would still lose to my subclan The military strength of these terror groups is overhyped. They stand no chance in a head on fight. The reason they seem strong in the south is that they effectively exploit the grievances of looma oyaans like Rahanweyn and Bantu.

they might be overhyped but the idea of IS militants fleeing Syria/Iraq and resettling in the Galgala mountains is a real possibility. Also the growing relationship with Turkey wont sit well with the Saudis/UAE. They have already received weapons and man power; we need to get rid of them and control the seas to nullify their threat.

then how come you can't defeat them. why don't the whole military go up the mountains and exterminate IS militants one by one instead of relying on the US to bomb them.

Don’t forget about the wild hearted Riyoles.

They will literally abandon a pirate mission and join the fight.

Eyl had the whole city on high alert when Alshabab tried to sneak in by boat last year. It resulted in Rahanweyns being removed from IDP camps near Nugaal and they move upset many people.

If a non-Puntlander farts in Nugaal we smell it.

That was Garacad they tried to sneak into march 2016, not eyl.

The cancer has spread. By the time PL commits to fight these guys, it will be too late.

They have already killed hundreds of Puntland troops.

Somaliland would never allow Isis to operate within it.

 

[DRACO]

Bomb the whole mountain(s) down.

 

[KULTA]
