🚨🚨 Puntland impounds arms shipment from Turkiye headed to FGS.

[Aarka Nugaal]

PL: The cargo is all military equipment
Fire truck on board:

Your knowledge on military procedures is poor. Fire trucks and ambulances are used in military operations at frontline bases and combat areas.

Puntland brought along both facilities during its Cal Miskaat operations against ISIS.

You’re too dumb for this stick to dusty tuulo comparisons, Turkiye transports weapons through its own state owned vessels and guards its arms shipments and does it according to international law.

These weapons were being illegally smuggled by HSM’s trusted middle men for his own use, most likely against the Mogadishu based opposition.

So why did some of the military equipment have the Turkish flag attached on it when being shipped?

The FGS clearly said on the statement it was intended for the Turkish military camp which is under the control of the Turkish Government. Are you so illiterate that you cannot read or your stating the FGS are directly lying on the Turkish government?

They are lying.

Just because those MRAPS had the Turkish flag on the back doesn’t mean they are legitimate weapons transport, especially not if it was intended for Turkish needs in their colonial fort military base in Mogadishu.

I have a t shirt with the Canadian flag, does it mean the prime minister of Canada gave it to me?

 

[IKHALIIL]

I dont get why puntland is citing maritime law when they're not actually a sovereign state

lol

Hormuud and Amiin ambulances have an arsenal of military equipment in that case

I don't get how we are still pro-unity since Southerner and Northerners want to destroy Puntland.

If all Somalis came together to destroy Puntland, they would not have the military power to get past warshada galayda. Destroying Puntland? Hawiye iyo Isaaq ciilka ay Puntland badey allaa og.

 

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

Interpol have been granted access to the cargo content, and NATO Sr officers have boarded & documented its hardware.
A case of 'ii qari' gone wrong.

PL legal minds are heading to Bosaso.

What a stupid thing to say. Somaliland is more powerful today than it was in 2023 or in 2022.
It is stronger and more capable militarily than Puntland. If Cirro were to launch an all out attack, there is no guarantee that all of Harti could stop him from reaching Las Anod.

So then why are you pro-unity?

 

[Thegoodshepherd]

So then why are you pro-unity?

I want Puntland to rule Somalia. I want to implement federalism in Somalia, build a strong limited FGS and stop secession. I want a federal government capable of someday taking advantage of state collapse in Ethiopia, and that can move to absorb the Somali Region. I think Ethiopia can be defeated and I can get back my hometown of Dogob.

I want a strong FGS so I can rule Dogob from Gaalkacyo.
I don't want my beautiful Dogob to remain forever under Christian xabash rule.

How can you build that with someone who hates you?

It is not necessary that we love each other in order to share a state and make it strong. We only need to have shared interests and a longterm view that we have bigger enemies.

I would rather that Dogob be ruled by Hawiye in Xamar than by pagan Oromo in Addis.

An independent Puntland would be a دويلة, a state with no independent foreign policy forever at the mercy of Addis Ababa. It would also mean the death of any hope of Somali ethnic unification. I find that unacceptable. I would rather be ruled by Hawiye forever than let that happen.

To hell with that. I'd rather go for independence and take my chances than continue unity with this never ending crap in Xamar. Ruled by Hawiye forever kulaha. Hawiye have been seeking our destruction and subjugation since 1991. They still have ciil for us.

The adage "finders keepers" apply hire. Everything on that ship belongs to beesha Siwaaqroon Ibraahim. They found it floating near Bareeda coast. They borded it and rescued it. It should stay with them.

I've been analyzing the competing narratives around the SEA WORLD incident, and the contradictions between Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's federal claims and Puntland's response reveal the most sophisticated case of constitutional manipulation I've seen in modern African politics.

Let me break down what actually happened here, because the timeline and competing statements expose a level of operational deception that's frankly breathtaking. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's federal government issued their press release on July 23rd claiming the vessel was "on route to Mogadishu Port, transporting military equipment destined for the TURKSOM Military Training Centre" and that "the cargo was legally authorized and fully compliant with both national and international laws."

But here's where it gets interesting - Puntland's statement reveals they seized the vessel on July 18th after it was "loitering for two days near the Bareda coast." That means this "legitimate federal cargo" was sitting in Puntland waters doing circles for 48 hours. Since when do legitimate government shipments loiter offshore for days without any federal communication?

The federal government's constitutional argument is particularly rich. They cite Article 54 claiming "exclusive mandate for national defense, both on land and at sea" and call Puntland's action "a direct violation of the Provisional Constitution." This from the same administration that unilaterally amended that constitution in March 2024 without state consultation, destroying the very cooperative federalism they now demand respect for.

What's most damaging is the operational timeline. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud stayed completely silent from July 18th when the vessel was seized until July 23rd when he finally claimed ownership. Only after "Somali traders based in Mogadishu contacted the Puntland Government" and "the Turkish Ambassador to Somalia reached out" did he suddenly discover this was federal cargo. That's not how legitimate government operations work - that's how you behave when your covert operation gets exposed.

The constitutional hypocrisy here is staggering. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud destroyed federal cooperation through illegal constitutional changes, forced Puntland to withdraw from federal structures, ran what appears to be weapons coordination for tribal proxy warfare (the Dhahar operation was happening simultaneously), then demands constitutional authority when his operations get intercepted. You can't break federalism then invoke federalism when convenient.

Puntland's response is constitutionally sound - they're defending federal principles against an administration that systematically violated them. When Hassan Sheikh claims "any unauthorized interference threatens both national and regional security," he's describing his own actions perfectly. The real threat to Somalia's federal system isn't Puntland enforcing maritime security - it's an executive branch that weaponizes constitutional language to cover operational failures.

This represents the breakdown of constitutional governance through institutional capture, where democratic processes become weapons of political warfare rather than mechanisms of legitimate authority.

This guy narrow it.

In a meeting with the Turkish ambassador today, I was informed that the MV Sea World vessel was carrying military equipment for TURKISOM. The Amb stated that he reached out to Puntland but to no avail.
In this view, Puntland has legal obligations to release the ship without delay

A couple of things wrong with Sharma'arke's tweat.

a) Turkish Ambassador, Mr A Aktas contacted PL, and was asked to provide cargo manifesto 5 days ago, yet he disappeared now knocking on doors in Nairobi,

b) It shows from his tweat, Sharma'arke is out of the loop, and has neither friends nor contacts in PL's corridors of power,

c) From a diplomatic protocol perspective, the Turkish Ambassador should follow protocol, and contact the Foreign Ministry.

Someone redirect the good Ambassador to the Minister's MFA office.
