Is there any ideologies in Somalia? Apart from Separatism/Unionism, Confederacy and Federalism?

Is there any economic models, foreign policies, social beliefs or even creed differences that politicians debate about.

I'm not saying there is no ideologies in Somalia i'm trying to say there very little well thought out ideological camps that are fighting for what they believe.

We only have one ideology and that's Islam alhamdulilah.

The likes of scientific socialism crashed and burned decades ago.
 
Yes.
Islamic populism/Salafism: ikhwaan (control education), itixaad (control business), shabaab (only ones that can actually govern): each group with unique political views/goals. In theory, against qabyaalad and thus supported by laangaabs but is run by laandheers.
Kacaanism/left-wing populism: dying breed. Ultra-nationalists, Very anti islamism. Irreligous folks.
Federalists/secessionists: realpolitik qabiilists.

The people are poor and illiterate. They can't access anything other than Islam in quranic schools. The somali intellectual elite all left and Somalia experienced heavy brain drain.
 
they have no ideology honestly. i made this criticism a long time ago because it explains the trouble of politics in Somalia. I'd prefer it if we had anything, neoliberalism, socialism, conservative politics anything outside the mess of qabilism that we have.

There's a good example of how politically inept the country is in our so-called elections: in Somalia, they have 4.5, and in Somaliland, the Habar subclans just switch the seats around; they don't even allow new parties to be created.

I would even prefer a system without democracy if we had any direction. if politicians were judged on their economic policy somalia would be a much better country to live in. hell even a democratically centralist government like the ccp could work where the only power you could get was in the party but it allows differing viewpoints -within limits- that form coalitions within the goverment.
