No that is another misleading reporting, sool was never listed nor has a ballot box ever been put in sool!!!

Sool never participated in elections of sland, who is this propaganda reporter fooling? sland are divided let alone sool or awdal..i know many ppl that don't accept sland...for example look at the vice-president and his comments about somaliland..he said somaliland is fake and somalia is the only real option...thats ur own vice president for goodness sake!!!

So really sland is just big outside of sland..

Assasinations are common within puntland? so that means daily someone is being assasinated right? listen your reporting is what make slandpress a joke and that is why allafrica doesn't take u serious nor does anyone outside snm circle!!!

Like i said all i don't really care wat u do in hargeisa or your local politics lakinse if u ever disrespect puntland u will learn some very hard facts about your ppl and region..so just dont cross the line u understand..ama u will be shown truly what snm or isaaq ppl are by me...

I already provided all of you a un security report that proves that puntland is stronger then sland!!! in 2003 sland is reported to have brought every force, weapon and habar they could. This didn't change anything but infact led to a quick puntland victory!!! if sland was stronger then puntland in 2003 when they brought everything they had they should've of won!!! but did they? No. End of story really. No amount of sheeko merfish can change this ultimate fact!!!

Piracy is a business, it doesn't harm somalis!!! the pirates don't go around raping women, stealing from somalis, killing, etc. These ppl have financial beef with foreigners and not somalis. Therefore for somalis to even mention pirates when u have the likes of rayale who is using food-aid as political tool against his own citizen is just plain stupid!!!

Pirates give a cut of their ransoms to the poor needy ppl, according to times magazine!!!
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/afric...

Pirates are justified in what they are doing even according to a.u president khadafi according to this international newspaper
http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/20607.asp

The pirates are fighting against illegal fishing, is illegal fishing a myth or excuse of the pirates!!! hell no..it is fact that 1 billion dollars is lost to illegal fishing in africa...this is according to government website of department of international development. Read below!!!
http://www.dfid.gov.uk/Media-Room/Press-releases/...

Illegal fishing costs somalia alone $300 million. Is that not a form of piracy! Read below!!!
http://www.mg.co.za/article/2005-09-01-illegal-fi...

Even illegal fishing is costing somaliland ppl according to your own somaliland website!!
http://www.somalilandnet.com/somaliland_voice/art...

So do not try to sit there and deny illegal fishing and toxic waste dumping are not the reason why pirates are fighting back. The pirates are justified in responding to these ppl as kadafi even noted!!! Congress and white house and everyone knows what is fuelling piracy and i support them 100% infact they are eco-warriors standing up against foreigners and telling them clearly "u can not steal from somalia and if u do so, we will steal from u by hijacking your ship"

Piracy has earned $80 million for the pirates in the financial year of 2008, yet illeagl fishing has earned foreigners $300 million..even with the piracy the illegal fishers cost the region more then what the pirates take from the ships.

It is not my fault you somaliland ppl allow illegal fishing too occur in your region, maybe u r to scared to stand up and say "no" but that is up to u, it has nothing to do with me. What i do concern myself with is somalia.

Do u think the only peaceful place in somalia is hargeisa? lol you are kidding yourself i think, puntland has had peace for 11 years but we are not going around bragging about. Puntland has hafza, lootah multi national firms investing into our region and turning into 1st word nation in 99 years. We have africa oil, raytech and range resources who have already put down $100 million in oil exploration.

They backed up their words with hard cash so ppl know they are serious!!! Puntland has just begun installing traffic signs on the bossaso-garowe-tukaraq-galkacyo road. It has already begun massive health reform where every child is to be immunized by law!!! it offers public, secondary and university education. Public and secondary is provided free by puntland administration. We have have golis telecommunication extending telecommunication range into remote areas of bari and sanaag. We have fai international building 2 new regional airports and bossaso to erigavo highway. We already continuing the 80 km road into remote regions of bar that started in 2007. Bossaso airport already has $45 million invested into it to turn into the biggest airport of somalia, it will have taxi ranks, duty free shops, 3.4 km tarmac, and terminal and not to mention aero-space facilities so night-time flights are possible. The bossaso port is already being extended by 400% by lootah to become deep-sea port like djibouti and will have a modern port authority headquarter!!! We sit in the most strategic location of africa where 122 000 ships must pass by our ports. We have billions of barrels of oil according to taipain financial news and hold 90% of all somalia oil and this is not to mention our off-shore oil and gas and iron and other mineral deposits.

You guys just need to stop hating on others and realize why noone takes you serious in the world, hating on others will not make others take you serious. Noone in the world even knows you exist, maa been baan isku sheegayna? Ask yourself why!!!!

It is funny how the administrator takes down my response to the article, after i debunk it, war sxb every article u post is crap and propaganda. U can take my post down all u want but the expert agencies will never take your media serious and u only have yourself to blame. Because when u r told the truth, u just delete it from your website. The truth hurts i guess, that is why your 17 years in the position u r it is because u refuse to acknowledge the truth and prefer to live in falsehood...you can only blame yourself

No it is somaliland press that is not trusted source of news to the experts around the world. Their is reason for that, it is because your reports are never factual. Let me give u an example. Look at ur report now, u said all piracy originates from puntland...Lets test that against the facts. according to white house congress report, puntland represents only two towns of the piracy, the rest is outside of puntland.

You can verify that below
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/20...

Secondly u said puntland is responsible for human-trafficking, um that is not true. It is the war in southern somalia that is responsible for human-trafficking because it is supply/demand business. If ppl don't flee hamar, their is no human-trafficking demand needed in puntland, because all the ppl being trafficked are from southern somalia war-spots.

U can verify that here in the relief-agency regarding human-trafficking.

While garowe-online is favored because their reports actually hold truth. For example the incident of ceel-baardale, it was garowe online that first reported that somaliland businessmen imported weapons off zeylac port and were taking to borama. This was before the incident happened weeks before, yet no somaliland website to take this report serious and now u have the disaster of ceel-baardale occur. It could've all been avoided if somaliland reported on it and got somaliland police to arrest and take-away the cache of weapons from the business men.

You can verify garoweonline reporting on smuggling weapons into sland weeks before ceel-baardale incident took place

So i am sorry to inform u, it is you guys who prove yourself not to speak on facts, not garoweonline. Garoweonline is alot more reliable then somalilandpress, all u post is news to make slanders happy so your website can recieve more and more hits. U dont do it based on factual reporting but even ignore the facts and still report misleading things. You only fool slanders not the world and that is why allafrica doesn't trust you nor do any of the expert website.

If i a normal user can debunk your articles, what u think the experts can do to them? that is why noone takes your media serious, u proven yourselves to report on what u like to tell the ppl even if it is true or not doesnt matter for you. U only mislead your ppl, u don't fool anyone else.

That is why for 17 years you been like that, because u r the loser at the end when u keep living in propaganda, while puntland today enjoys the friendship of the usa and e.u and also nato. What do u have just your "keyboard and propaganda"

On that note asalama alaykum
