Now puntland..Sure their is piracy in two areas of puntland. Eyl, and Garacad. The pirates are not mj only because other dens of piracy exist in hobyo, harardheere, and even as far as ras komboni. Source....http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=7302551 ...
But i will focus on the puntland pirates they have brought in $200 million dollars into the economy of puntland stabilizing shilling from inflation and thus the puntland economy is thriving unlike smellyland where the currency is dead. The living standards in puntland is alot higher then then living standards in somaliland according to the united nations and business and prosperity is more in puntland then somaliland... :
Secondly if u look at the statistic from the uhubso aid agency it clearly proves that ppl in somaliland meaning the above average citizen live on a dollar day, god only knows how terribly the average citizen lives probably $50 cent a day... whilst in puntlad the bare minimum below average idp settlement ppl live on $1 a dollar whilst the average puntlander is on $4 a day...even puntland refugee are economically the same earnings as somaliland above average citizen...source http://www.internal-displacement.org/id ... pEnvelopes)/197C4AEA895C8349802570B8005AADBE?OpenDocument
Please don't get angry anyone i just wanted to clarify facts and i have provided reputable sources from aid agencies and respected news sources like abc...if you don't like it well tough luck but thats the fact won't change..."somaliland wey dushay" is just myth...facts on the ground tell of a HELL-HOLE...Whilst puntland is prospering economically, politically, and even in medicine and science departments whilst remaining loyal to their somali roots.Not to mention the educated puntlanders abroad like myself and many others who will continue to contribute and make puntland the next dubai..my specialty is "network engineering" so i am hoping one today to build broadband network to connect every house to the internet and starting remote distant learning centers for literacy and maths for even nomads using online technology..inshallah....The Future is bright, the future is Puntland clap:
