Inallahu khayr al maakiriin.
It's been exposed that puntland have been planning the assault that took place yesterday morning over the last 5 months, and it's no secret that Gaas has assistance from his southern clansmen.
The idea was to break somalilands hold on tukaraq and prevent it from further advancing, however what's more embarrassing is the fact that the number of SL troops stationed in tukaraq number no more than 2,000, not to mention Caambashe's militia of 300 men.
Now that their morale is broken, and they realise the dhulbahante are once again turning with so far over 120 soldiers defecting to Somaliland, (not to mention rumours of Ahmad Karaash a high member in Puntland and Khatumo defecting), it seems all somaliland has to do is continue its advance to the border where they will garrison outside Garowe and build a base there.
The reality in the ground is, this clan, Isaaq, that started in 1327 A.D when the patriarch died, has only continued to evolve and expand, at the expense of the already present tribes namely darod and other dir minorities, when the border is secured, this will be a powerful moment in somali history, state building albeit subversively.
I don't really like bribery, as it doesn't breed loyalty, and I believe the solution to making dhulbahante fully loyal to us is to move in the south Eastern HY and HJ to live alongside them in their deegaans and to marry their women.
