We should give thanks to our founding father, especially the traditional leaders. I like the idea how things are shared on districts rather then clan(this can't be measured) only districts can be. There are many clans in PL who do not get representation as they clearly have no district. All parliaments are based on districts around the world not this crazyness of 'tribe'. People assume puntland is shared along tribal lines, it is far from the truth. The seats were given based on your districts and how many you have, not your tribe because we can't measure your tribe, we can only work of your district.
Plus I like how PL shared it's economic resource, it was done equitably and fairly. Galkayo-Las anod even though they were accessible due to the highway, their security situation wasn't great and hosting a government there wasn't feasible. Badhan was totally inaccessible also with no road plus the SL issues there was unpredictable also.
This left only Bosaso, Qardho, Garowe as prime candidates for the capital and Bosaso was probably told 'no' we can't have the capital and economic lifeline together as one, there needs to be separation so power can be checked. Garowe now needs Bosaso due to the port plus Bosaso needs Garowe due to the Capital. This is a fair way sharing in my opinion.
I can't see any problems with the way Puntland was created at all, it works perfectly yet you have people who criticise it in Somalia not understanding how the state came to be. All they see is tribe, puntland isn't based on tribes. It's based on districts, you don't get a seat if you can't prove your district in puntland. Those people need representation ma garatay?
