Xoog did not build Somalia though. We were lucky USA won WW2 and forced Europeans to free their colonies to ensure its own supremacy. Like all African states, the government and country was handed over to us, we didn't build shit from scratch.
I agree, but I didn't imply that. I think it's obvious that the current borders of Africa are a product of colonial rule.
The example about AY is stupid. If might makes right like you and
@reer saying he would submit to ICU and call it a day. But he brought Ethiopians to smash ICU and force down federalism down southerns throat. Funny thing is the fragmented TNG/FGS you guys are complaining about are direct results of AY decisions which you support.
You taking about another context. Me and
@reer were referring to AY being a strongman of PL and not his involvement in Xamar politics.
Even if we were to disregard AY and think about a scenario where he would remain in PL; Ethiopians would still invade and cross into southern Somalia anyways, since they made that decision independently from Somalis. And thus fight with ICU, making ICU rule short-lived.
Federalism came as a result of the failure of south-central Somalia, which first led SL to declare independence from Somalia and then PL declare autonomy from Xamar. Had south-central Somalia stop fighting each other earlier on, then maybe federalism would not have happened. Because none of the rebels against MSB wanted that in the first place.
If you really believed Xoog would fix everything you would support Shiekh Sharif the head of ICU as he owned the largest militia in Somalia and was well on his way to pacify the whole country. AY literally used Ethiopian cheat code when he couldn't face them head on resulting in exasperation of the Somali Civil War.
I said it would work in an ideal world, but given what transpired the last decades in Somalia; I personally can't see that happening here (at least on a nation-wide level).
ICU only have themselves to blame for their demise. The got south-central Somalia in check because of the lawlessness nature there, which PL and SL didn't have. They had the opportunity to find a peaceful solution with PL/SL. But nope, their stubbornness led them to aspirations of taking over the only functioning state(s) through xoog.
