You're wrong to attribute $329 million to Benadir alone. There are sources of government revenue that are country wide like passport and overflight fees.

Somaliland never inheritley takes transfers from FGS (this transfer is funded from IC not FGS tax). The reason why it took it in 2022 was due economic circumstances Musa Bihi took to the Waaheen Fire in April 2022 which was a significant loss to the population and the $13M received was...

Both statistics are ambiguous and estimations at best. One shouldn't really use it as verified numbers.

Your points aligns with what I said earlier which is hard for some to accept. As for your question I am not sure and it's best to not assume in this case.

That's not true as the aid/grants listed in the FGS budget are projects that are disbursed across Somalia such as "Biyoole" and "JPLG" that even accounts for Somaliland. Here's an extract for world bank aid/grants for projects in Puntland 2023 that was listed in Puntland Budget 2023.The...

I shared the figure stated from the Puntland budget for 2023. If it's wrong, can you share the correct budget book with me so we can see all the numbers? Source: https://mof.pl.so/pss-budget-approporation-act-2023/ Again, I shared the January 2024 expense document, which stated the annual...

Excellent news and development. However another community took their oil quest in the form of manifestation through articles on Bloomberg.

Ilhan is a politician elected by people and not a Civil Servant those are two different things. Civil Servants are supposed to be impartial at all times irrespective of government policies. She's entitled to her speech but it doesn't mean she can keep her job for breaking code of conduct which...

A public Civil Servant should never openly criticise the gov policies and there are consequences. Better to leave and share your remarks. This even happens in the UK Civil Service but she should've been first been suspended and instead of being immediately fired.

Puntland budget in 2023 was actually $145 million of which $113 million is government budget use and the rest aid/development projects budget that is accounted for in the financial system (you made a thread on this system) Straight from the source...

Finally a Somali led and Somali owned constitution. Compare to the provisional constitution where you had the IC and Ethiopia facilitate and dictate somalis. Read through the article below which address this from 10 years ago...

How much TAX revenue did Puntland government generate last year?

Clan federalism imported by Zenawi through Puntland caused this tribal lense which will forever put Somalia in a limbo talking about clans and politics till the end of times. MPs should be elected through areas (50K population example) instead of entire regions. You can look at Somaliland...

If I were to politically fix Somalia it would be to run a nationwide census. From that census create parliamentary constituencies (area) based on population (50K). This would elimate tribalism as people will think about their immediate constituencies as you could face a scenario where you have...

You do understand Dhahar and Badhan has low participation due to people not registering due to lack of political will (not part of Somaliland) So why are you comparing the two as if you believe those regions in Sanaag are 100% behind Somaliland. Shouldn't you be instead looking at the numbers...

Again districts which includes settlement's and the nomadic community which out number those living in towns. In Salaxley you have those coming from Hawd who hold a Somaliland nationality due to tribe and can vote. The same happens in elections Hawd where you have people living in SL crossing...

"Where do u come up with this" You do understand it's the entire districts with the settlements and not just town. This includes the nomadic community which outnumber those living in towns.

It's a common misconception but it follows the ruling that they have to be 16 when they vote. Political commentators don't like to read the law as it's not clear cut but it was signed off by Cirro multiple times over the years. The link below goes through the SL Voting laws in English but...

Just a minor correction is that the voting age in Somaliland is 16 and not 15. You can be registered at 15 only if you turn 16 by the time the election day happens.

Below are the rest of the demos in Sanaag if you are interested. Ceeloyo/Badhan might cover some of the towns you might have been thinking about.
