i think its quit clear faroole is going to run for the presidency..major reason why he didnt get involved in gaalkacyo..
if anybody can fix somalia right now its faroole..
1)he can play hard ball with puntland and get them under the mogadishu administration. in terms of tax, army integration, national resources and 1 national law, education and health umbrellas.
2) he is officially the last remaining old school politician that doesn't have to read from a piece of a paper to address a current situation. he wont look down when addressing foreigners. the only somali that could sit amongst our neighbours and would feel superior and not even equal.
3) he will have no mercy for alshabaab softies, man used to make them face the long end of the barrel in bosaso on regular basis.
4) he would karbaash all that do not follow the rules set including reer puntland but most of all reer hawiyaha.
5) he has a very good relationship with somaliland and during his reign somaliland would either get independence or be a fully functioning state in somalia. now two ways about it.
6) he is an anti amisom, and they wouldnt last, the somalia army would finaly be released of their chains to go after alshabaab, unlike the current admin who profit from amisom and probably have secret dealings going with alshabaab.
7) faroole is the perfect president, and with a strong and learned prime minister preferably isaaq would accomplish a lot in 5 years..prime minister deals with international relations and faroole home soil and direct neighbours..
