The looming war of ideology and religious dogma is set to take place in Puntland.
President Said Abdullahi Deni from the Islaax who are more relaxed when it comes to religious dogmas is trying to cement his beliefs in Puntland.
Puntland has traditionally been Ictisaam (reformed Jihadists who gave up Jihaad) stronghold.
The Ictisaam dominate the business and religious world in Puntland and are deeply anchored into the fabric of society.
During the election a unusual partnership formed between Asad Osman former head of PSF and Ictisaam which Boqor Burhaan belongs to.
Why would a man whose agency worked and benefited from America's war on terrorism and who handed over a score of Jihadists and perceived Jihadists to the US command in Djibouti to keep the funding going and get a financial reward for every captured 'head' go into alliance with reformed former Jihadists who are against the hand over of any Muslim to non believers and are against spying against Muslims?
It is simple they saw the threat from Said Abdullahi Deni and to their business and religious scene dominance in Puntland which they felt will be weakened by President Deni if elected.
It will intensify in the coming years inshallah.
