Deni is not widely loved by puntlanders or the majeerteen. But he is supported by most puntlanders. He has been an improvement for puntland internally. Where he draws a lot of criticism is in his foreign policy dealings, especially with xamar government.
We have a completely different approach to politics when compared to southerners, you accused puntlanders of supporting Deni blindly because of blood or kinship ties, that’s not the dhaqan of the north east and this is woefully untrue.
Maxamuud saleebanimo or majeerteenimo wax la sheegto ama lagu faano ma aha. Majerteen are a nation of 2 million souls, 24-25 major sub clans and nearly 100 reers. Not all are puntlanders and the two aren’t mutually exclusive.
