What is the way forward for Puntland?

[Saahid Qamaan]

This is a serious thread about the future of Puntland.

Give us the insides rather a wish list of yours based on the current reality.

The writing is on the wall!

 

[XamarCade]

They let federalism get to there head.

 

[Yonis]

Development Development Development.

Our 3 main airports Galkacyo, Garowe and Bosaso will be completed and operational

Maakhir University will open in Badhan

Garowe-Eyl Road will have been paved and constructed

DP World will completely transform Bosaso Port

Companies will produce and process salt in Hordio and Xaafun

Agriculture will continue to flourish across Puntland

Ceel-Dahir Ceerigabo road will be constructed

Democratisation process will start

and much much more, all before Gaas's administration is over.

I hope the next president will leave where Gaas left off and continue develop our land and piss off our enemies

Declare independence or stay as excess luggage in Somalia.

 

[Saahid Qamaan]

XamarCade you rather mean 'their' and not there!

 

[Yonis]

We dislike the politics south of our border but breaking away from Somalia is beyond anyones thinking.

 

[Saahid Qamaan]

Yonis I was out for something else but thanks for the input.

Do what China and Taiwan do, claim to be the legitimate government of China, in this case, Somalia.

 

[Saahid Qamaan]

Horumar good so go to war with farmaajo

 

[Saahid Qamaan]

Are there any folks actually in the 'know'?

 

[XamarCade]

XamarCade you rather mean 'their' and not there!

No

 

[Saahid Qamaan]

XamarCade I believe you can divulge more on the issues in your region.

[Saahid Qamaan]

XamarCade I have been with Puntland since its inception. I hope you have the same connection with your home region.

I join @Yonis in his assessment, developments should be the first priority. But before getting the right development, the politics should be on its feet. Puntland is aiming to get the right power sharing arrangements with the federal government. But the SFG has shown multiple times to be untrustworthy. There have been several agreements that were reached during domestic conferences, which have been either violated or not fullfiled. The Galkayo accords of how to share foreign aid have been ignored, the same goes for the Garowe Principles on the requirements of new federal states have been violated. The right question should be how do you deal with untrustworthy negotiation partner? Because every agreement you reach will be violated the next day.

If puntland wants to move forward they have to forget about sool and sanaag.

What is the way forward for Puntland in ur opinion

Puntland has a lot to offer and is progressing fast. Infrastructure improvements are underway, agricultural and cattle improvements. If they got the ball running on airports and harbor ports it will benefit Puntland immensely. Also if they implement smart tax systems, it would greatly increase their revenue!

Now to the more good stuff. There are expected to be $billions worth of oil everywhere in Somalia and especially in Puntland. If they get some oil exploration underway, Puntland might hit the jackpot.(When you do find oil don't secede from Somalia. The south needs that oil money LOL).

Also try to stay out of the borders of Somaliland it will greatly improve your security(Sool&Sanaag). We will square up like they do in Detroit otherwise.

Puntland are stationed in Maakhir and Badhan District in Sanaag. They are also have Bocame Tukaraq and various areas of southern Sool. And they control areas in Buuhoodle. Why would we just throw all that away ?
