AsadSL,
It sounds like you started this thread just so you can post a lame picture, what an arsewhole. Puntland revolt is a prime example of an "impatient community." I hate briefing your arse on why that is; really bias arsewhole like yourself should learn to quit butting in if they can't put their thinking cap on.
Briefly: Puntland was a witness to how thing's unfolded between Abdullahi Yusuf and Sh. Shariif's camp; it was also a witness to how thing's unfolded between Omar Abdirashid and Sh. Shariif's camp and all the while that was unfolding, Puntland other then voicing its demand had always hoped the TFG would perform a unifying role. Now that Sh. Shariif's camp had successfully cherry picked TFG officials from Puntland, it turns out Sh. Shariif's camp are busy trying to write Puntland its self off.
Thus, as a professor from Purdue University by the name of Weinstein puts it, "Puntland finally became "impatient" enough to make a break with the T.F.G. as representative of the center, if not with "Somalia" as an idea to be realized. Most of Puntland’s statement of its "new position" is taken up with explaining/justifying its break – Puntland has not participated in drafting a constitution meant to replace the T.F.G., it did not participate in the 2008-9 Djibouti Peace Process that set up the present expanded T.F.G., the T.F.G. did not honor its August 2009 agreement with Puntland defining relations among the two entities, and the T.F.G. attempted to monopolize donor military and development aid.
Puntland’s minister for planning and international cooperation, Daud Mohamed Omar, who has taken the role for the administration of explaining and defending the policy shift, explained the move on January 16 as a response to Sh. Sharif’s "interference" with a donor meeting in Djibout, in which the T.F.G.’s president attempted to marginalize Puntland. According to Omar, Sh. Sharif has been troubled by Puntland’s increasing access to donors following the May 2010 Istanbul Conference – Sh. Sharif’s attitude, Omar said, was the straw that broke the. camel’s back."
