Puntland was founded as an autonomous state in 1998 and a political vanguard against possible centralism. It became a federal state post 2012 but its claim on SSC is based on tribe as it shows in the 1998 charter, whether Somaliland exists or not would not make that any different.Horta isn't it true that PL exists as a Parody of SL and to hamper its ictiraaf agenda. PL now stands for the institutionalization of qabilism in somalia at the expense of all; the lives of the people of soil and trust in the FGS
All federal state forming in Somalia are clan based, Galmudug Hiirshabeele, South West and Jubbaland, the difference with Puntland is it is the only one that exists de facto.
Your emotional appeal to something that doesn't exist is something you may trick the one eyed moryaan with but Somalia is exclusively a clan based society your sudden faux nationalism fall on deaf ears when you sleep among wolves. We have a 30 year track record that shows your system doesn't work.
