For comparison, the current lower house regional distribution is:
- Somaliland - 46 MPs
- 51.6% increase in 2021
- Puntland - 37 MPs
- 42.6% decrease in 2021
- Galmudug - 36 MPs
- 21.5% decrease in 2021
- Hirshabelle - 37 MPs
- 42.6% decrease in 2021
- Benaadir - 7 MPs
- 136.4% increase in 2021
- South West State - 69 MPs
- 26.2% decrease in 2021
- Jubaland - 43 MPs
- 35.6% decrease in 2021
This is an outrage and yet another example of the FGS's war against Puntland. Puntland's FGS government positions, like the central bank director they tried to hire an cadaan gaal for, have been systematically taken away from us and given to secessionist porcupines. The delicate 4.5 system that has governed this country for the last decade and a half is being dismantled in favour of a qabiilist system that erases some clans from existence entirely.
We cannot share a country with people like this. Puntland must secede.
