I utterly condemn the killing of an innocent young Doctor Dr Zakariye in Galkao. It’s heinous & unprecedented crime its kind in Puntland. Giving into urges, perpetrator must face hard justice - Somalia has become a place where knowledge and peace consider as threat.

Subject: New Realities Require New Measures
The situation in the region has changed quickly. The federal political structure in #Mogadishu, the geopolitical competition in the Horn of Africa, and the involvement of outside actors have created new instability and security risks.
Sool has become a hotspot that #Puntland cannot afford to ignore. The problem must be contained before it spreads into Puntland and creates a wider security threat.
Las Anod is no longer just a local issue. It has become a space where exile politicians, hostile federal actors, foreign interests, and other forces operate. Through this, problems that are not local are being imported into the region and turned into security risks for Puntland.
Over the last three years, the actions, decisions, and political direction of the SSC-Khaatumo leadership, including Firdhiye and the traditional leadership, have provided a clear basis for understanding their intentions, capabilities, and objectives. Puntland now has enough experience and information to make decisions based on reality, not expectations, emotions, or wishful thinking.
The period of observation is over.
The time for policy adjustment has arrived.
Therefore, I propose the following:
1. Close all borders between Puntland and Sool. No movement of people, vehicles, or goods should be allowed in or out. This is necessary because the current situation has been handled irresponsibly and has become a security risk for Puntland’s stability.
2. This measure should remain in effect until the Dhulbahante community resolves its internal disputes, speaks with one unified voice, and presents a credible and sustainable solution to this recurring problem.
The reality has changed.
Puntland’s response must change with it.
Puntland has historic and reliable collaboration with Ethiopia through DDS government.
In Puntland stance, security and economic relationship with Ethiopia must remain intact at all time despite of external affairs.

Must read article!
@"From Brotherhood to Betrayal: How Somalia's Leadership Incompetence Gifted Its Oil Wealth to Turkey"https://t.co/qbSNOuVboj on @LinkedIn
Turkish media is depicting the ongoing crisis in Somalia as a shift from a 4.5-clan-based power-sharing framework to a system of universal suffrage.
This indicates that certain Turkish media outlets are colluding with the current administration in Somalia.
Through basic fact-checking, one would ascertain that the existing regime's electoral framework does not abolish the 4.5 power-sharing system; instead, it codifies it into law.
This approach suppresses dissent and enhances the regime's legitimacy among both Turks and Somalis.
@umutcagrisariii@OAbraar UAE is richer than your old and dying country, UAE boasts one of the highest GDP per capita figures in the world, so they don’t need to fake, simply they can!
This is one of the reasons why the world views the #Somali Diplomatic Passport as a document that makes it easy for terrorists to travel across the globe!!
The picture shows Mukhtar Robow Ali (Abu Mansur), who became part of the top leadership and founder of al-Shabaab, and at the same time holds a Somali diplomatic passport.

@suad_a62129 Sovereigntigaa bakhtiday dheh, it was Ahmed Fiqi, Liban Shuluq and Xil. Qali Ali Shire who issued diplomatic passport for the notorious al-Shabab Ina Macalin-guur who hail from Galmudug!
Now here he is talking about sovereignty, useless!
As long as President Hassan Sh. Mohamud @HassanSMohamud unconstitutionally occupies Villa Somalia, no developed nation will grant visas to holders of the Somali passport, period.

Inta Hassan Moryan @HassanSMohamud Villa Somalia sharci daro ku dhex fadhiyo ma jiri doono caalamka hormaray dal passport Somalia Visa ku bixinaya, period!!

This is a very cheap mischaracterization and a disrespectful distortion of what “Puntland First” actually means.
Puntland First is not about hostility toward others. It is a political philosophy that recognizes the primary responsibility of any government: to serve and protect its own people first.
Puntland First holds that the Puntland government must prioritize the security, prosperity, development, and well-being of Puntlanders above all else. It emphasizes self-governance, economic growth, territorial integrity, stability, and the advancement of Puntland’s strategic interests.
At the same time, Puntland First supports peaceful, constructive, and mutually beneficial relations with neighboring regions and countries, including Somalia and Somaliland, whenever such cooperation serves the interests of Puntland and its citizens.
Every successful government puts the interests of its people first. Puntland First is simply the Puntland expression of that principle.
This keeps the focus on the philosophy itself and avoids turning the discussion into a personal dispute.
Hey uncle south Somalis dictator. @HassanSMohamud is the real Zionist -
after signing in Ibrahim accord - “#Somalia’s dictator @HassanSMohamud rewards clannish corruption: appoints a close family relative, Ali Gaaf #Abgaal Sup-Clan , as ambassador to Israel. One of the so-called ‘lost Israeli tribes’ in Africa? #Corruption #Clannism ”
The perspective echoing inside this troubled man is exactly what Hodan and those like her are pushing!!
On top of a shallow understanding of governance and 35 years of ongoing political infighting, Mogadishu suffers from an additional issue: its people view the city as if Mogadishu is Somalia, believing they are uniquely entitled to the country while the rest of it is deemed meaningless.
Those who subscribe to this weak mindset have been stuck in destruction and insecurity for 35 years, with large parts of their own regions controlled by al-Shabaab. Yet, they oppose Puntland's progress.
They work to demonize and dismantle the development and security enjoyed by the people of Puntland - who, unlike the utterly failed populace in Mogadishu, took charge of their own destiny 27 years ago.
Today, it is imperative for Puntland to move past the incompetent rulers of Mogadishu.
Puntland First is leading the implementation of the historic transformation that Puntland needs: determining its own future and forging a path to become independent from the failed system in Mogadishu.
#PuntlandFirst has mapped out a path for its community to leave behind the chaos, the poor understanding of governance, the ignorance, and the insecurity plaguing Mogadishu and its surrounding areas.
The days of Puntland remaining tied to Mogadishu's failure are over. This is the core principle upon which Puntland First is built.

#PuntlandFirst
The UAE/Israeli Zionist backed "Puntland First" project represents the next phase of Somalia's separatist movement.
The project goal is to move Puntland from semi-autonomous status toward full statehood, deepen alignment with Somaliland, and ultimately legitimize Somaliland's claim to independence through mutual recognition.
The movement is not about local politics or strengthening PL within the federal system of Somalia.
It’s a model that favors fragmented, weak states over unified and sovereign ones. Because a divided Somalia is far easier to influence economically, politically, and militarily than a strong, united nation.
Exactly what Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv would benefit from - greater leverage over the Horn of Africa's strategic trade corridors, ports, security architecture, and natural resources.
