To deny any links with the pirates was expected of them to deny. But the UN monitoring group issued its report and i chose to believe facts instead of a empty rethoric by a thief like faroole.

And this militia that attacked unarmed goverment officials, will not go unnoticed in Hargeisa, and once again they will have teach you respect.

If that is true, then why are th PL adminstration struggling with containing their pirates in their almost collapsing jails. When Somaliland got 1 million dollars from Denmark and 1 million from norway to build a maximum pirate jail prison?


I mean if there is 10 times more pirates jailed in Gerowe, shoudlnt the EU building alot of jails and funding farole?

Here is the answer: Faroole is deemed unreliable by the EU, and his corrupt adminstration has reached the ears of the EU, therefor they chose to work with a adminstration that just made it free for all children to attend schools in Somaliland and that just had a democratical election.

You spend your money whre it is likely to be used for good.

That is because there was alot of pirates present in Puntland goon and they are almost abolished and some of their stronghold was taken. There is a huge newly constructed prison facility in Qardho and a new one will be build soon insh'allah.

Where is this maximum "pirate jail" that you speak of? If Somaliland authority did Indeed recieve that money, what have they done with it? did they pocket it as usual?

If your aurgument here is Somaliland has more experience and are more equipped in dealing with Pirates, don't embarrass yourself. Puntland always had more security challenges than Somaliland solely bashed on region's geographical location. It border southern/central Somalia specially galmudug where pirates have strong base. Puntland is backed and praised by the international commity in dealing with pirates and their efforts and hard work is always acknowleged.

BTW, the so called "democratic" election is Somaliland is overrated. We all know that everybody voted for candidate from their tribe rather than voting into office a person who is competent, hardworking and visionary. That is why Silaanyo, who is one of the biggest warlord was voted into office. Also, Somaliland existed way before Puntland and Puntland managed to accomplished things half the time that Somaliland did. Puntland Will have democratic, multi-party election next presidential election.

Also, if you want these men to be freed you have to be willing to negotiate with Puntland

Danish money for Somaliland pirate prison


anish Foreign Minister Lene Espersen (K), together with Development Søren Pind (V) provide financial support to renovate a prison in Somaliland, where condemned Somali pirates can be put behind bars. The newspaper Berlingske Tidende.
The joint decision is taken prior to an early publication of a UN report that will indicate the need for establishment of judicial and penitentiary sectors in Somalia as a key factor in preventing piracy.

But as the Somalia and security policy as economic lies across as a civil war ravaged failed state, the UN report, pointing to the relatively stable Somaliland, as the first place where it is possible to implement the prison project.

The two ministers will allocate 1.7 million dollars of the two ministries global framework to renovate an old jail to house convicted pirates.Several states in the region, including Kenya, Seychelles, has agreed to receive and judge the captured pirates.
Prison capacity in the two countries is limited, and Kenya has actually declined more captured pirates. Denmark grants already support for the part and leader of an international group advising the UN Secretary General on the law.

Here it is when it is finished:








UN monitering group and its view of Puntland

irate economics” are so powerful in Puntland that it is fast becoming a criminal state. The government of President Abdirahman Mohamed Faroole, instead of fighting piracy and developing his region and country, has started to share in pirates’ earnings. According to the UN Monitoring Group, senior Puntland officials, including Faroole himself and members of his cabinet (notably the minister for interior General Abdullahi Ahmed Jama and the minister for internal security, General Abdillahi Sa’iid Samatar), have received proceeds from piracy and kidnappings. The Monitoring Group said in its 10 March 2010 report that “over 30% of ransom payment was retained by Puntland government officials”.

UN doesnt want its money in Puntland, sicne Puntland itself is benefiting from this criminal activity. And the Money would be lost and not accounted for.
