@Based there was no PL in 97 and was created due to Somalis refusing to come to Bosaso in 97 to hold a national conference and they went to Cairo Egypt which endorsed Ina aideed and Ali Mahdi for the govt. PL state was born due to those circumstances. Now HSM govt violation of the constitution crafted in Garowe 1 and 2 will recreate those 97 conditions.
PL has legal justification we are only part and parcel of a Somali Federation and we recognise only the 2012 constitution, anything outside those political parameters we are sovereign and independent.
Historically PL regions were forced into a Somali union by Italy thru violence and war and naval bombardment. PL region has suffered the longest persecution under this somalinimo idealogy from 1880 sayid era, colonial era, siyad barre era, USC era, alitihaad era, all the govts up from 2000 to 2024 minus Abdullahi Yusuf TFG era have warred with Puntland either thru politics or security.
There no place for PL in Somalia and it's in Somali interest and Puntland we just go our separate ways
Yes, we should go our separate way. But I guarantee you, the self-harming mule called Puntland, will try to revive this bakhti, relentlessly.
