		The residents of Puntland claimed that the rest of the world was ignoring their plight (apparently they weren’t aware that the rest of the world didn’t even know that the Land of the Gods existed).
		Not only does Puntland have its own country (albeit of uncertain borders and general location), flag (not a very creative flag sadly, a single white star on a blue background), but it also has its own President, Abdullahi Yusuf (don't worry about writing that down; there won't be a quiz).
		The problem is, as you can imagine, Puntland is not a particularly safe place for American tourists to be (contrary to popular belief, Disneyland was never considering opening a theme park in Puntland).

	Somalia's Puntland sold exploration rights in Somaliland
		Puntland authorities last year had sold exclusive mining rights in all its territory, including parts claimed by Somaliland, to an Australian company.
		Puntland, on the other hand, is an autonomous region in Somalia, under direct control of Colonel Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, who later has become Somalia's transitional President.
		Somalilanders were therefore shocked when finding out that in October last year, the autonomous government of Puntland had entered into a contract with the small Australian company Range Resources Ltd, selling off 50.1 percent of the sole and exclusive rights to all mineral, oil exploration and development in Puntland, including Sanaag and Sool regions.
