I think the time has come for Puntland to drop the claims of Dhulbahante lands and them being citizens of Puntland. These people do not want and like us MJs, the division and distrust is well known, but our political leaders have got some crazy obsession with them. We give them posts in parliament, give them VP role and they still don't want us. Just look at Dhulbahante leadership, they go from Hargeisa to Garowe to Muqdisho make a U-turn back to Garowe and then finally return to Hargeisa, and each visit to these cities they beg for monies and go for the highest bidder.
I actually thought that they would change with Gaas becoming president, Since he went to Taleex and other places in Sool during his election campaign for Puntland President and seemed to be welcomed with open arms, but NO. Since Gaas's election, Somaliland entered their lands many times and on each occasion there was minimal outrage by them, they weren't calling for Puntland and so on. And a good portion of the men fighting for SL against Khatuumo supporters and so on are bloody Dhulos themselves.
Unlike the Warsangeli, their elders have not gone to Garowe and had a meetings with Gaas.
Look at them, they are split into three camps: Somaliland, Khatuumo and Puntland. And let's be honest here, I'm an honest man, the Puntland camp is by far the smallest of the three. Even In Buuhoodle no Puntland flag is in sight but we give some fellows from the town and it's surrounding areas positions in our state parliament and the VP role. What in the world is this shit?
I say Puntland should wash its hands of Dhulbahante and when I say Puntland, I mean Majeerteen. Sometimes I just sit and think, am I mad or is this world mad?
If they want to be part of Somaliland or have that non viable Khatuumo, which well most likely never happen (but since Habr Gedir can have that joke of a federal state then Dhulos can have their Khatuumo).
Puntland should leave them to their own devices. If they think they can go toe to toe with Somaliland then so be it, let them be destroyed.
To conclude, Puntland (MJs) should cut and null all relations and ties with the Dhulbahante. Replace Dhulo seats in parliament and ministerial positions of Puntland with worthy clans such as Warsangeli, Leelkase and even the minority Dir sub clan that live in Mudug-Nugaal area. These clans are more loyal and supportive of Puntland.
