Divided Somalia cannot rise because they are busy fighting among themselves, like the wars between the federal states.
Few elite "people" benefit while the rest are blindsided by this fake state/qabil nationalism.
Federalism is not meant for a country that has one ethnic group with one religion and one language. Everyone who supports it wants Somalia to stay weak for their own selfish reasons. We support one strong Somalia.

MOGADISHU – In 1998, as part of its constant push to sabotage Somalia’s unity, the Ethiopian government led by the Tigrayan ethnic minority put forward a proposal — it called “building blocks” — to an East African regional bloc, IGAD, to divvy up Somalia into six clan-based regional administrations.

That history is always being purposefully omitted when discussing the Somali federal system that trapped the nation in a vicious circle that only serves the interests of esurient politicians. The UN and the EU — the peddlers and financiers of the system — have dissembled federalism’s debilitating consequences in the country, such as the unremitting wrangling between the central government and regional administrations over power and resources that distracted Somalia from taking its rightful place in the world.
Few elite "people" benefit while the rest are blindsided by this fake state/qabil nationalism.
Unwary Somali politicians — not the wider public — uncritically bought the Ethiopian concept of federalism and wrongly thought it’s good for the country. It’s not unexpected. The system offered greedy regional administrators, who have a taste for expensive cars and five-star hotels, the opportunity they always hankered for: To do as they wish. And so they did. They unilaterally struck trade and military deals with foreign countries and entities. Taking advantage of the ambiguity in the provisional constitution, they went further and forged state-to-state ties with foreign countries. They took delight in meeting with Kenyan Presidents, Ethiopian prime ministers and princes from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, among other foreign dignitaries
