PUNTLAND IS DYING — AND ITS PEOPLE MUST DECIDE IF THEY WILL SAVE IT OR BURY IT


“If you are silent now, you are already part of the problem.”
For the first time since its creation, Puntland is rotting from the inside.
The tragedy is not that enemies are attacking us — it is that our own so-called leaders are dismantling the very house they swore to protect, brick by brick, deal by dirty deal.
The people’s faith is collapsing. Disillusionment is spreading.
This is the most dangerous moment in Puntland’s history because the betrayal is coming from within.
While the public is distracted with daily struggles, a corrupt political class is auctioning off Puntland’s future — to Mogadishu power-brokers, foreign meddlers, and private greed.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
We must speak the truth: Who is responsible for the
1. Political decay?
2. Security collapse?
3. Economic stagnation?
Under whose watch:
1. Puntland became a playground for opportunists
2. ISIS extorts our businesses in the Cal Miskaad Mountains
3. Mogadishu agents buy loyalty from former Puntland leaders to undermine federalism
4. And the silence of many so-called elders?
➡ Cowardice in the face of treachery.
Puntland was not built on cowardice.
It was forged in the fire of a four-decade struggle, paid for in the blood of thousands, created to stand as a bulwark against chaos.
Now, it is in the hands of men who think leadership means clinging to power and cutting secret deals.
“When the going gets tough, only the tough get going.”
Well — the going has never been tougher.
If you love Puntland, you either rise to defend it now, or you become an accomplice in its destruction.
WDM CALL TO ACTION
PUNTLAND WILL NOT SAVE ITSELF — THE PEOPLE MUST
Puntland stands at the edge of a cliff.
Words alone will not pull it back. Action will.
Every citizen must understand: the fight is NOW — not next year, not after the next election.
7 STEPS TO SAVE PUNTLAND
1. EXPOSE THE BETRAYERS
Name them. Shame them. Confront them.
Whether in Garowe, Mogadishu, or abroad — make their betrayal public.
2. MOBILIZE THE PEOPLE
Form grassroots committees in every district.
Demand transparency. Defend federalism. Organize peaceful protests.
3. DEFEND PUNTLAND’S SECURITY
Support real security forces — not political cronies in uniform.
Resist ISIS extortion and criminal networks with community-led defense.
4. REJECT MOGADISHU’S POLITICAL BRIBES
Federalism is being dismantled with cash and promises.
Any leader or elder selling loyalty is a traitor to the State.
5. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY
Push for independent investigations into corruption, security failures, and secret deals — including the MV Sea World weapons scandal.
6. STAND UNITED ACROSS CLANS
The vultures thrive on division.
Unity is our strongest weapon.
7. PREPARE FOR LEADERSHIP CHANGE
The current order is beyond repair.
Groom principled, educated, unbought, unafraid leaders.
WDM’s message is clear:
If you are silent now, you will have no right to speak when Puntland is gone.
History is watching.
The blood of those who died for this State is watching.
Act now — or be remembered as one of those who stood aside and let Puntland be buried.
