How did ISIS come to Puntland

I still dont understand it, how can a force this significant just appear out of nowhere with strongholds in mountains etc
Done covertly. The recruits and foot soldiers went to Ethiopia and then drove into SL, then came through into the mountains using mumins contacts and other IS operatives active in the region. Massive lapse in intelligence gathering and border control.
 
Look at these diagrams. It's the insufficient border security in the mountain areas and lack of deportations from returnees coming to Bosaso.

I lowkey never understood this either. A year or two before this campaign started people were saying its a only few dozen men in the mountain
But now its been 6 months since this campaign started and it sounds like they've killed hundreds of dasesh fighters yet its still not over ?

Somalia is the most corrupt country in the world. Figure it out. They have no loyalties other than their calool and jeeb. They clearly didn't go undetected and were allowed into lack of diversity MJ featuring yaryar land where even walalo Marehan or Ogaden resident would stand out. Many people in Somalia are also supportive of these terrorist groups.

I hate saying this but I feel like it was planned, dont know by who tho
 
When Mumin arrived he had a handful of fighters. Some people objected, however some elders told them to leave him alone as he was a native, a son of the land. He probably brought a bit of that Dacish money at first.

Dacish doesn’t have the support of many Somalis. In fact people have fled Bosaso to escape their taxation and threats. They’ve been very bad for business in the area and are harsh, thus they are hated by most. All the scholars in Harti and the clans oppose Dacish, so I don’t know where you got that information from. You actually don’t need fthat many supporters to take over baadiya and mountainous areas. Shabab, you may argue, has some supporters amongst clans in the south.

They’re on the run and have been dodging patrols, there’s a small fanatical band remaining, they’ve been dealt serious blows and aren’t able to launch offensive attacks anymore. It’s going to transition into a round up phase soon.

Shabaab is really because of fear, I think if FGS really starts to beat Al Shabaab we could see all these clans suddenly turning on them
 
Apparently Deni is desperate for funding against ISIS, state coffers are looking empty and no one wants to donate due to his history of mismanagement
Global aid is down in general. I actually think the fact that PL used its own resources to fight an insurgency should be applauded. The FGS has received billions in support, that's the real mismanagement.

In the first year of its founding (2012) under HSM, 70% of the Government budget which was largely foreign aid went missing

Elders screwed themselves and the people of bari over by allowing that guy to bring his ideology to the land

Just naivety of the locals, these terrorist groups rely on that. Fortunately they are dying everyday, Inshallah they will be cleansed from the area soon.
