In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  CNN.com - Ethiopian troops cross into Somalia - November 24, 2001
The presence of Ethiopian troops in the Puntland state town of Galcaio is "absolutely confirmed without a doubt," the sources told CNN.
Galcaio is the hometown of former Puntland President Abdullahi Yousef, generally regarded to have diplomatic backing from Ethiopia, the region's largest power.
Yousef's rival, Jama Ali Jama, was sworn in as Puntland's new president November 14, after the former Yousef's three-year term in office expired.

In the north-west, Somaliland was subjected to a two-phase conflict in the 1990s: initially in the run-up to the 1991 conflict when the Somali National Movement defeated the forces of Siad Barre, and again in 1993—94, when internal fighting split the newly declared, though as yet unrecognised, republic.
By contrast, with the exception of the area south of Galcaio, security conditions in the north-eastern Puntland State and north-west Somaliland are probably better than in Kosovo or East Timor.
Restrictions on expatriate staff numbers due to poor funding; limited travel opportunities to and within Somalia; and a reluctance to negotiate the relatively primitive conditions prevailing in most of the country mean that many agency staff spend less than a quarter of their time on the ground in Somalia.

In Galcaio, members of the Victory Pioneers, the urban militia notorious for harassing civilians, raped large numbers of Majeerteen women.

Auctioning the Dervish Compound: lack of respect for the will of the people of Galcaio.
We have been hearing rumors, for sometime, that the Mayor of Galcaio was trying to auction the ex-Dervish compound in the center of the town, but the residents of Galcaio strongly opposed it.
However, recently we are hearing, not only that the rumors are real, but also that they have been endorsed by the President of the State of Puntland, purportedly to use the earnings for other projects, badly needed by the region.
