In 2010, the UN

In 2010, the UN International Monitoring Group (IMG) published a report stating that the Somali government's security forces are ineffective and corrupt, and that up to half of the food aid that was destined for the conflict-stricken parts of the country was being misdirected. It also accused Somali officials of collaborating with pirates, UN contractors of helping insurgents, and the Eritrean government of still supporting rebel groups in southern Somalia despite earlier sanctions imposed on the former. Somalia's government and local businessmen, as well as United Nations officials and the Eritrean government all emphatically rejected the report's claims.[103][104] Additionally, the government of the autonomous Puntland region in northeastern Somalia indicated that the writers of the report drafted it without ever having actually travelled to the region, a fact which was also confirmed by the paper's authors.[105] Puntland's president also stated that the report was "politically motivated" and an attempt "to discredit Puntland as a way of achieving another hidden goal" -- an apparent reference to the report's principal author who has familial ties with the dominant clan in Somaliland, a secessionist region in northwestern Somalia for which the author is known to have actively sought diplomatic recognition.[105] This was echoed in an official press release by the region's Ministry of Information, Communication, Culture and Heritage, which indicated that the charges were "made by certain elements in the IMG" with a history of making such claims "in other organizations in the past but [who] now have infiltrated this UN mission (International Monitoring Group)." The Ministry also enumerated a number of reforms that Puntland's administration has recently enacted as a part of its officially declared anti-piracy campaign, including the arrest, trial and conviction of pirate gangs, as well as raids on suspected pirate hideouts and confiscation of weapons and equipment; ensuring the adequate coverage of the regional authority's anti-piracy efforts by both local and international media; sponsoring a social campaign led by Islamic scholars and community activists aimed at discrediting piracy and highlighting its negative effects; and partnering with the NATO alliance to combat pirates at sea
