  1. Good job Somaliland navy for your hard work and professionalism. My question is, are these fishermen from Yemen, have permission to fish in Somaliland territory? If not they should face the music of Somaliland justice and go to jail or deported to Yemen.

  2. Commander!. I guess this one uniform for the one man-army of marines of Garadagland was borrowed from one of the neighbouring countries. I thought I saw the same gentlemen in the uniform collecting tax from milk sellers in Hargeisa.
