The TFG is playing the right card.
This reminds Me of in 2004-2006 when AY was in Jowhar or wherever He was, and the Int'l community was ignoring Him and funding the warlords to fight the ICU. AY cried foul and was saying "I am the President of Somalia, support Me in that capacity to fight them not the warlords". It didn't change anything really and the Int'l community continued their course. Now with Shareef/Farmaajo they are saying we are not going to a shir and be "partners" or have a "mediating session" with the different factions in the Country. Bottom line is Faroole and others are what we call faction leaders or hogaamiye kooxeedyaal. They represent a certain group/demographic/region. What Farmaajo is saying basically is there is nothing to mediate or talk about, with respect to the TFG Vs Puntland and all the other groups (SOmaliland is boycotting). For our Puntland patrons, what I don't understand is on one hand they are saying we do not want anything to do with the TFG and have "cut off ties". On the other hand though they are pushing for a mediating session with the TFG. So the issue becomes make up Your mind, either You don't want to engage the TFG or You do even though as of now its a mute point in that the TFG is saying we're not going to. Until that changes, then there really isn't much to talk about.
Puntland/Ximaan Xeeb/Greenland/Azania can have their conference in Nairobi, Kenya
Btw Abdalla11 You keep talking about Puntlands "piece of the pie", what is that exactly? Can You explain it
