How did PL Government overcome Al-Shabaab & did PSF play a huge factor in achieving that?

Puntland has no significance to Al shabaab. Plus it's the least populated area in Somaliweyn which means that shabaab can't hide among the population because everyone knows each other. It also has too barren environment where shabaab soldiers can't hide like in southern somalia.
 
Iran? They have two militaries
True, I forgot about Iran. They are still both under the same command though. But the IRGC have a different mission set to the main army, they operate overseas, are ideological, and they are also politically loyal to the Islamic Revolution not for the country. It’s ideal for Iran because even if the main army does a coup, the IRGC will defend the regime which is why it was created in the first place as the main army wasn’t trusted. Either way, it’s not really similar to what you’re proposing in Somalia and the circumstances are completely different.

AS is strongest in high density, multi ethnic populations and mountainous regions.

PL is not densely populated compared to other regions in the South, it is homogenous ethically and it’s mostly flat land so Shabaab wouldn’t have any hiding spots when the local forces roll in.
 
@World I wouldn't mind having a single conventional military for Somalia under FGS if it wasn't going to abolish federalism or commit grave crimes to protect the national leader

Al-Shabab waa Somali, don't hide behind minorities who can't even breath, let alone speak. And mountains in the South? Since when? AS is in bed with Hawiye, with backing from all the major clans, they even have MJ recruits, but the fact remains that Hawiye is their main source of power, both militarily and idealogically, there's a reason why they thrive in Haiwye dominated territories.

Galmudug isn’t high density, multi ethnic or mountainous. It’s flat land like Puntland.

Why is Ceeldheere under AS and not a single mountainous tuulo in PL?

Lol the only mountains in Somalia start from Bari going to sanaag. The dude is trippin
 
Others mentioned a lot of reasons but for me, we don’t defend our khawarij like other regions. Take example of the recent 18 terrorists that were executed in Galkacyo. 6 of them were from Galkacyo belonging to the dominant clan there but no one come out defending them. Compare that from those on the list from other regions. We were getting death threats from their elders daily that they would attack our people in xamar if they were killed. Look at roboow for example, the guy is getting defended by the people he abused the most. Same Hassan Dahir Aweys who was one of the founders of this sickness in Somalia. I’m sure if the kebab spokesperson Cali Dheere was to be captured, he will be defended by his elders and will get similar deals to Robow and Aweys. Anaga when we capture that old MJ qashin leading the 50 to 100 misguided fools hiding in the mountains, we will kill him.
Exactly they protect the criminals/terrorists
in Xamar because of family ties which is why we can’t ever defeat Al Shabab in the south.

90% of GM is Shabaab free. Biggest city under there control is Murusade who are aligned with Shabaab.

SWS and Jubaland have the biggest Shabaab problem with 90% of the territory controlled by Shabaab. Even the capital. And like I said they have all the problems that I’ve mentioned.

Multi ethnic, land isn’t flat/desert like in Puntland, high density populations, easily able to mix with the populations.

Your right. If you look at SWS for example specifically lower shabelle region and you look at how densely populated the region is and how many villages there are. One city can have 100s of villages under it.
 
There are mountains in the South e.g. Buurhakaba, Buur eylo etc.

I believe al shabaab occupy the south more because it's more easier to survive. If you look at Middle juba and SWS they survive of the farmlands and livestock they tax. They basically sit on the best lands in somalia Jilib, Jamaame the agricultural goldmines compared to puntland which is a desert and very hard to survive in the outskirts due to lack of food and basic necessities

You can tell these people have never been to SWS.

The place is so populated. Very diverse too. And the amount of forest regions makes it easy to hide away from military forces.

Everyone knows each other in Puntland, very hard to hide as a Shabaab terrorist within a neighbourhood and the place is a desert mostly, niggas will show Bari as if that represents every 10% of PL lol. The moment any government forces come in, as a terrorist you have to flee.

Let’s not forget the amount of farms and food production potential in the South. You can’t hide out in Puntland unlike in the South. Many rivers, lush green. You can tax this all as Shabaab to provide you significant revenue income.
 
This is the reason alkebab will be in the south for a long time. These negroes don’t know what personal responsibility means. Did shabaab fall from the sky? No they people from those regions.
I do agree that there needs to be a harsh and urgent military offensive against al kabab but all we are noting is the difference between the al shabaab infested south and the northern regions that are not so infested with al kabab.

One thing is I do respect the fact that somaliland and puntland are very harsh against extremist and have been able to keep them out. But this is the fault of the government and not the people.
 
In my opinion I believe we should get assistance from Ethiopia to deal with the al kabab problem. We should give them the freedom to release a lot of troops within Somalia building more bases and they should carry out military operations until Somalia is free from al kabab. In return we will give them access to the ports of Barawa, Kismaayo, Marka And Hobyo. This was actually the plan of the previous president which I think is a pretty good Idea.
