[quote="Murax"]Neocon,
I don't want to sound critical but I've heard that this Maakhir thing is like a bargaining chip to strongarm Cadde to give Warsangeli better representation in Puntland. Is that the case or are you really going to make a Maamul Goboleed out of those towns?[/quote]
As late as I've realized, Maakhir has always existed and pre-dates the creation of Puntland. Opportunist in Puntland had taken advantage of the situation once President Yusuf departed. We the Maakhirian were invloved with Puntlands creation out of Hartinimo and having a strong bond with Majarteen besides that we were never a tool for either Isaaqs or our closest kin the Majarteen. However just as greed certain leaders of the State saw it as an chance to cut relations with a people who backed and supported them from the very begining when their Maamuul where based on a few villages and clan allegiance. I have nothing agianst PL, our years with them was lost our resources and energy were directed towards the growth of their towns and cities and not ours. This isnt a situation of secession PL and the creation of Maakhir isnt a bargaining chip, Galkyco and Garowe arent Badhan and Haadftimo. Maakhir in 5 yrs will have changed with the strong allegiance of its disparora already and foreign agents that want to direct their resources to this region and it getting their. Politically the founder and President of Maakhir does not see eye to eye with SL let alone PL. The reform in what was Hartinimo to Maakhirian was and is crucial to the success of this regime and the future of Maakhir, President Jibrel is reer Geraad and supported by all Warsangeli elders and importantly Sultan Siciid which no PL or SL leader will ever have.
