   Dhulbahante odayaashooda badankoodu waxay masuuliyadii soo celinta Laascaanood u dhiibeen dawlada Puntland. Hadii Dhulbahante laga helo in aysan dawlada ka bada-hadlayn oo aysan oranayn niman Mj ah baa dilay (laayay) rag Bah-hararsame ah ama Jamac Siyaad arintu waa sahlan tahay guul-na waa laga gaari karaa arinkan.

   Wali Dhulbahante labbo jamac baa ka maqan, dhibka ka iman karaana la garan mayo.

   Puntland in ay taxadarto waa lagama maarmaan.

   This is not good news for farole..
   because when they came back, the people revolted against them by saying ” you are hypocrites” we dont need Puntland..

   the ssc people are confident that Puntlad will not do any thing for them.

   the reality is that Puntland President in his presidential race promised to liberate the region but did nothing.. and genral population aare increasingly very angry to Farole and not puntland.

   thanks

     Welldone . The agreements sounds a very good bilatral understanding . SSC leadrs have done their share of the solution and Puntland state should step up its attention in solving this prolem peacefully . Another words using all its resources in achieving the unity of its citizens . The adiministration should ecourage the silent majorty of SSC masses to accept this historic agreement .

   i think this isnot good for dhulbahanteelders because puntland won’t implement that agreement and it needs to stop struggle ofthe ssc society so i advice theelders to not trust what farole said
