Puntland IS Sool and Sanaag. When you ask me, "Has Puntland abandoned Sool and Sanaag?" it's like asking me, "Have you abandon yourself?" Of course not. Few minorities that have been misguided do not represent the people.
Im just curious why Puntland allows Soll+Sanaag to be militarily occupied by SL. Even though its just DBH men employed by the SL army, and thus wearing the SL uniform. What is Puntland's official position on this disputed territory these days.
Also maybe you can help me brush up on information. Im going to list Darood clans by population, highest to lowest, and the regions they live in. correct my mistakes and fill in the blanks, and let me know if Im forgetting any big clans that are relevant when trying to understand Somali politics.
