I spent two weeks in Puntland, attending the annual peace conference organised by the Puntland Development Research Centre and exchanging views with more than 2,150 people across society.
Garowe’s businesses, cultural gatherings, returning diaspora families and young professionals convey confidence in Puntland’s future. People speak about education, investment and building their future in Puntland. Their frustration carries an expectation of better government and wider opportunity.
