The consignment was officially destined for the Puntland Development Group (PDG), which has been contracted by SARACEN to provide local logistics support, select local personnel and pay trainee salaries. Shipping documents obtained by the Monitoring Group identify one of PDG’s contact persons in Bosaaso and Dubai, UAE, as Mohamud Shido, a known associate of Khadar Abdirahman Faroole and Mohamed Abdirahman Faroole, sons of the current president of Puntland. The Monitoring Group has been told that Khadar Abdirahman Faroole is a partner in PDG, but has not been able to independently verify this assertion. According to Luitingh, PDG is directly funded by the “donors”, not by Saracen.
i agree,,,this is why he never leaves garowe,,,,,,maybe the insecurity as well,,,,,i use to belief that puntland needed to get rid of military men but with farole and his coward blood,,obsession with security and never leaving isse mohamud territory,,,,i miss the days of AY and even cade,,,,,farole spends more money on his own security then he does on developing something,,,,,what has he build for the people,,,,,,
attacking puntland is bad and wrong,,,,,exposing farole is right and shows u love for puntland,,,,,,the man is clearly coward who spend his time in bunker in gaaroowe,,,
By November 2010, Saracen trainees, personnel and equipment were already adopting a more operational role in Puntland. On 16 November 2010, for example, the four armoured Ford F350 imported airlifted to Bosaaso from Mogadishu were photographed while moving in convoy in the streets of Bosaaso. According to Luitingh, the four vehicles were once deployed as part of the Personal Security Details of Puntland President Faroole, assuring his protection during his travel by road from Bosaaso to Garowe. On this occasion, it is Luitingh’s understanding that the turrets were mounted with heavy machine-guns.29
