We should just buy it like how the US bought Alaska.

If Puntland finds a huge offshore gas/oil deposit then there is a big chance they'll have to share it with Yemen because of Socotra and the surrounding Yemeni islands.

Yep. Yemen is dirt poor they can easily be bribed in the future to sell it to Somalia.

By the way they lied in the video, Socotra is not the only place where Dragon's blood tree is
found. Daalo in Sanaag has them as well that shows Socotra belongs to Somalia (it broke
from Somalia's landmass longtime ago).

It’s very close to Somalia but it does not belong to us, historically we never settled in it, no need to claim that island, we have enough land :)

Boils my blood whenever i think of Socotra and our proximity.
We should have settled couple reer Bari clans.
I heard that it used to belong to us, (a long time ago).

The inhabitants of Socotra are Meheri, the cousins of the arab-salah that live in Puntland.
Since Yemen purchased it, the meheris became arabised.

Somalidu were dumb to let the Arab League settle it. Obviously Dhagacas will support Dhagacas wtf
