Talk:Galmudug

No News from Galmudug?
Sorry about the unclear comment about "since November." What I had meant by that comment was since the advent of the war, there has been no news mentions of a separate state known as "Galmudug." No press releases. No "Information Minister." No government meetings. Nothing. At least, not in English-language sources I can find.

While Abdi Qeybdid's name has been in the news, none of the rest of the government of the nascent state of Galmudug has shown up in Web resources.

It brings to question whether the state, which arose out of the necessity to ally against the rising tide of the ICU, will just as quickly vanish as it emerged. Perhaps it will formally declare its allegiance to the TFG, or it might hope to retain some sort of autonomy. However, there's been no word one way or the other. I had wanted to make a mention of that in the article in some way. --Petercorless 20:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think the english language media really even knows it exists. I know noone had any journalists in the north, the coverage of the northern front was pathetic. --Ingoman 16:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Abdi Qeybdiid himself returned to Mogadishu. We'd probably need a Somali-fluent contributor to answer whether there was anything in the local-language media, but English-language local news sources such as SomaliNet, Shabelle Media Network, and Garowe Online have been particularly silent. The only news out of Mudug has been the return of pirates to Haradhere, and from Galgadud the resumption of clan fighting after the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops. No news of a "Galmudug" army or government stepping in. Simply the resumption of status quo ante— seemingly a devolution to local controllers. --Petercorless 16:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

No news from Galmudug
There still has been no news from Galmudug in the press (if you do a "Google.com" search), but there has been a new list made on the Gamudugstate.net website regarding the areas they ostensibly claim. --Petercorless 01:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Dinowda
Dinowda is in Mudug, Puntland not in Galmudug.26oo (talk) 19:18, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Dinowda is part of Galmudug

Flag
It seems like they changed their flag after beeing recognised in Garowe II Conference. http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Somalia.html --Martin Be (talk) 21:23, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Galmudug Issues
Galmudug exists only in the south part of Galkayo city in Mudug region, specifically in Barahley Borough of Galkayo, it is not part of the 18 regions of the Somali Federal State nor a Federal state such as Puntland State of Somalia.

According to the Somali Federal Constitution Article 48(6) "Based on a voluntary decision,two or more regions may merge to form a Federal Member State" and in March 2013, Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon visited south Galkayo (Galmudug)to encourage them to join the north part of the city which is controlled by Puntland State of Somalia.Aden101 (talk) 22:21, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Map
The current map is an inadequate and inaccurate reflection of Galmudug's de facto authority, reflecting aspiration rather than reality. It would be worth seeking a better map from a credible online source.HOA Monitor (talk) 13:10, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * The same could be said for most Somaliland maps. Middayexpress (talk) 20:43, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

The previous map of Galmudug was claiming Puntland administered northern part of mudug.

Here is CIA produced map of Puntland

Puntland includes northern mudug according to CIA produced map of puntland. Libanguled (talk) 10:48, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Visual map and Districts of Galmudug
I intend to revive my old account turdho and become a regular contributor of Somali related pages. I have noticed at some people constantly remove information and visual maps which are relavant to this page. Can something be done about this?

Galmudug is one-and-half state
Galmudug is one-and-half state comprising (Galgaduud and southern of mudug). North mudug is part of Puntland. According to Voice of America report "Galkayo is the provincial capital of the divided Mudug region. The northern part is controlled by Puntland regional state, while the south is held by Galmudug regional state. "

Another VOA report says "the Mudug region is split in two, with one side being controlled by Puntland"

Northern Mudug is part of Puntland
According to CIA Factbook northern Mudug region is part of the semi-autonomous state of Puntland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Libanguled (talk • contribs) 05:50, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Galmudug map
ive posted two sources from two different websites but the same user who is hiding under different names keeps reverting my work. He/she provides no sources but keeps reverting my well-sourced map. The map he wants to use is a map where Puntland who controls northern mudug is bordering Galgaduud.

here are my two sources: Research paper | African programme | September 2015 | Title: Somalia’s Federal Future Layered Agendas, Risks and Opportunities;

Somali update | May 2017 | Federalism in Africa: The Somalia Case
 * Hello, i have reverted your edit because the newly added map includes territory that is considered to be contested. I have looked at your source and reviewed it. However, there are multiple other websites and research papaers that directly contradicts your source, and so to maintain your version of the article is equivalent to dismissing all the other sources that contradicts it like the following sources  (the latter source used by BBC (British Broadcasting Cooperation)  and more, which are all not consistent with your new addition of the map. Therefore, to mediate and compromise, i have maintained the version of the map that has been stable for multiple years and approved by admins who have reviewed multiple sources.CabuuwaaqWanaag (talk) 21:51, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

It's not contested, the map that is being used right now is absolutely Not correct. It clearly shows the upper part of south mudug as part of Puntland.

Here are accurate sources that show the accurate map.

1) by life&peace institute.

2) UK Aid (Department for International Development.)

3) Political Geography Now. ”Updates the on world’s countries and borders”

4) Chatham house.

These four sources are international research institutions/organizations that can't be biased. In order to make an accurate border map, the map should be based on districts. As clearly shown in the map that is being used hobyo district is under Puntland which is not correct. And all of Galkacyo district is under Puntland which is also absolutely biased. Puntland controls the two smallest districts out of the five original mudug districts.

Hobyo District alone is two times Jariban District and Galdogob District] combined. And you can go see [[Mudug’s districts maps. And Hobyo District alone is bigger than Galkayo District and Galdogob District combined. Galkacyo district is divided into two as we all know, the southern half is administrated by Galmudug and northern part by puntland.

Southern mudug, Hobyo District and Harardhere District are far larger than the small Galdogob District, Jariban District and Northern mudug, but as you can see the map that is being used right now does not show that but shows the opposite.

==User:Zakariayps== Admins Do something with this user! he has been banned but keeps making tons of accounts just to post misinformation and start disputes all over Wikipedia especially those that are about Galmudug. He has been exposed over 30 times, as you can see on this article Over 34 of his sockpuppets have been caught.

How is it even possible for a one person to make over 30 accounts? Wow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohamed958543 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
