Somalilanders are in full force to spread lies and fake news after heavy defeat on the battlefield, to make the international community think they were attacked by Somalia when in reality it was nobody other than Puntland acting in self-defence. A fake letter was released by @MattBryden who's wife is from Somaliland. The forged document intended depict Puntland seeking financial and military help from the federal government of Somalia, a government that militarily controls nothing but Mogadishu and are struggling with Al-shabab, and yet we are led to believe a well trained profession army from Puntland is seeking their help.
As for the letter itself, they couldn't even be bothered to proof read their own lies. Towards the end of the letter it says "Allaa Mahadleh" which is a somali salutation only used by Somaliland papers at the end of their government documents. Puntland uses another salutation, "Fulan wacan" at the end of government released documents. Proving it is completely fake
Also the first name of the president of Somalia "Abdullahi" was misspelled "Abdilahi" in the forged letter.
All non biased Somali readers are fully aware the document is fake, and such high level documents are not leaked this easily it would be classified.
As a result of this blantant attempt to mislead the public, Puntland government responded by releasing an official government document today the 18th may confirming the letter in question was completely fake and made up.
It is likely the secessionist government in Hargeisa will attempt to spread more fake news in a despretate attempt to gain sympathy for the blatant aggression against Puntland in the Sool region.
