Lol, so that is the excuse of the day in Puntland, or should I say the excuse of the hour. You are holding off reclaiming your "hartilands" from Somaliland, because recognition is not looking likely and therefore you can wait?
I'm always reminded of the legendary Youtube clip of one of the SL commanders that took Laascaanood in 2007. He was asked about the battle, and he said there wasn't much of a battle. SL launched an early morning attack, and the surprised Puntlanders took off and ran away so fast, that the breakfast they were eating was still hot when the Somalilanders arrived.
