I think the Triangle clan has much more to fear then they show.
Because for one if you do side by side comparison between the the two regions Somaliland is lame duck.
here are the deciding factors.
1.OIL production in Puntland is underway soon it would be the richest region of all somali hence the (19billion barrel of oil)
2.Puntland has for the first time surpassed Somaliland the entire clans budget if you need prove compare Somaliland and Puntland budget for the past year {2011}
3.Puntland has abundance of water supply and irrigation systems while Somaliland clearly lacks this department in Hargaisa where people protest on the regular for lack of water efficiency ..
4. Puntland is attracting more foreign investment in natural resource exploration
5. Puntland is taking the leading role Somalia's affairs

which earns them the respect of the west.
